An interview to Ajei Gopal, executive vice president for the Products and Technology Group, CA, Inc. by WTN media.

One of viewpoints in the interview is that IT is becoming an integral part of business. As the interviewee points out: Today, in many instances, IT is the business. Alignment is a weak word in that the coordination between the CIO and the others is a very strong chord. The stuff of IT is the stuff of business. This is certainly the case in the financial services industry. So you look at Google or Amazon - they went from being an online store to an online shopping mall, to an online company for cloud computing technology. That is, it's all about IT and business being locked together.
I strongly agree that in today's business and IT situation and in some industries. IT strategy has to be considered with business strategy together. The two strategies are becoming equally important, thus the Alignment theory is becoming weak.
