Information technology for nontechnology executives
10/30/2000
Darwin, wrote editorial director Lew McCreary in the June 2000 premier issue, is a magazine about change, about forces that are "inexorably producing a brand-new business world, cell by cell, from the old one's husk. For better or worse, technology lies at the center of this pulsating, mutating universe." The aim of the magazine, from the publishers of CIO, is to "shed light on the murky world of information technology" for nontechnology senior executives. The online version is attractively designed and easy to navigate. Click on "Read Darwin" to view the current issue or the (brief at this point) archive. Or choose "Learn" for a glossary and a series of "learning centers" on such topics as E-Business, ERP, Data Warehouse & Data Mining, Knowledge Management, and Measuring IT Value. There is also a "Connect" section with audio interviews, polls, surveys, answers from experts, book reviews, and an events calendar. It's an excellent look at the changes wrought by technology from a perspective that executives outside the IT department will appreciate.
