Companies see increase in productivity with technology


According to this latest study, companies and organizations can see productivity increase when they spend more money in computers and technology. I think must of us would say, "duh." Computers and technology can make us more productive.
My Lifedrive has been a huge help in me being more productive and in getting things done. If you aren't a big user in a computer or a PDA/smartphone, you might want to take the time and look at one and see all that it can do for you. I think you will definitely find that the positives out weigh the negatives.

"Money spent on computing technology delivers gains in worker productivity that are three to five times those of other investments, according to a study being published today. But the study also concluded that the information technology industry itself was unlikely to be a big source of new jobs.

The 69-page report is a wide-ranging look at the role that information technology plays in the economy, based on an assessment of existing research and the authors’ analysis. The study was done by a year-old research organization, the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, whose work is supported by companies like I.B.M., Cisco Systems and eBay, as well as by the Communications Workers of America and foundation grants. It will be available at www.itif.org."
