Summary: Deliver More Than Technology?Deliver Value.
Review: Essential reading for both experienced and novice technical consultants who want to expand the value they deliver clients. For too long technology consultants have focused almost exclusively on the intricacies of systems without paying sufficient attention to the strategic, business, and human effects of their work. This book successfully introduces IT consultants to the broader world in which their work takes place.

Summary: Roadmap for the eConsultants
Review: Mr. Freedman has created a roadmap for anyone intersted in IT consulting in the eEconomy. Both new and experienced consultants learn how the line between technology and business are becoming blurred. For those who have been delivering services for a long time this book lays out in a very clear and understandable fashion the skills you need to develop to add value in your engagements. This book demonstrates how to tie together those elements that are required for a "value added" engagement. The business stradegy and marketing are no longer the sole domain of the business groups but are tighly coupled with technology, and how it is deployed, to reap the benifits to be gained through eCommerce. As Mr. Freedman points out the new model doesn't overturn everything we have come to know as IT consultants. A structured approach to developing an eCommerce site is still necessary and without applying some methods chaos rules. However, new rules do need to be followed. This book contains interviews with industry leaders that show us how they have sucessfully modified or developed new methodologies to address the challenges presented. As with any technology project Mr. Freedman has also laid an approach to developing a technically solid e Commerce site. Not only is the information helpful to a consultant planning an engaenent but also supplimented with interviews and an understanding of how client issues can be addressed using the latest technology.
