About


I’m Carl Weinschenk, and I’ll keep this short and sweet. I was a staffer until late 2001 at several publications and sites, including Industrial Photography, Cable Marketing, Cable World, tele.com and InternetWeek.

Since being laid off by InternetWeek publisher CMP in the autumn of 2001 — a wonderful time for everyone — I have freelanced in many places, including Communications Technology, Cable360.net, Tech Republic, Multichannel News, ServerWatch, Wave, America’s Network and Billing World. Right now, I work extensively with the wonderful site and terrific folks at Information Technology Business Edge (www.itbe.com).

Why We Write

It is axiomatic that IT and finance folks “speak different languages.” This is a label for something that is a lot deeper and pervasive.

The bottom line is that companies are losing revenue from their business intelligence and related platforms and seeing their competitive position slip because IT and other departments don’t communicate well. Indeed, they often don’t try.

The IT-Finance Connection covers these communications issues. The bottom line is that Information must flow between IT and revenue-generating departments in order to make the wisest decisions possible. This information transfer is where the rubber meets the road, and where we spend our time.
