Information technology has been used for decades in both the government and commercial sectors. Its initial use as automating a previously manual process was soon overtaken by the need for competitive advantage. After decades of hardening their business process into hand-written computer systems, organizations are now faced with generational shifts in technology, business pressures and IT skills. The demands on today's IT solutions include:

• Increased access to new constituents beyond the organization's walls
• Improved decision making through more intelligent data mining
• Expansion of content beyond traditional accounting functions
• Responsiveness to the ever changing dynamics of business and technological possibilities
