Where do IT vendors think business’s focus should be?

IT vendors should think what they can to reduce company’s costs. The costs can be discussed in two ways – system investment & maintenance costs, and improving business practices.

Since transactions grows very fast, needs for bigger and less-power-consuming system grows together, causing power & space issues. Vendors should device a system should occupy less space and power-consumption.

But more critically, the system should contribute in reducing costs by business practice innovation. For example, supporting good telecommunication, it reduces costs for traveling and meeting. Virtualization is a new trend for cyber business where companies meet, communicate and even sells their products. For this, they need good graphic processing capabilities, easy software for building 3D, etc. This sure gives IT vendors new business opportunities, I think.
