CIO magazine has published an article on the reasons why CIO's think their developers are clueless.This is based on a survey of CIO's.
Reason number 1 says - Developers don't think practically.
Reason number 3 says - Developers can't get away from the "wow" factor. One CIO is quoted saying, "An application with fewer features that is completely stable and fast
is better than a full-featured application that is unreliable and
slow."
Reason number 4 says - Developers don't think of ROI, TCO, and other business priorities.
This is relevant to the RIA business, where we see how our Japanese customers are successful in deploying RIA via Curl Platform, because of reliability, scalability, and performance. These customers start from a TCO and ROI perspective.
In the US, the "wow" factor seems to dominate the landscape. Sometimes, customers endorse a technology such as Flex and then try to figure out how best to use it. CIO's must take the lead in setting out a vision and blueprint, before developers can execute. A disconnect creates much confusion.
