The major “cool” thing with this is all about integration and productivity. I love how all of the systems are tied together, where suppliers are pumped into your systems, and you are pumped into theirs. If you change anything, the system adjusts everything all-around.
The whole setup and way it works seems great, but I can’t imagine what it would take to set something like that up. Between integrating it into your own systems and working with your various suppliers, vendors, customers, etc to get into their systems, it sounds like there will be a lot of cost involved.
From a new business perspective, this can lead to many things for IT solutions companies like mine (Tri Megatech). I hear all the time, computers are getting easier to use and more automated, aren’t you worried about the future of your company? Technology always evolves, and there will always be something to fix or do. It’s being on the edge of it and knowing what is next that will allow you to monetize the most.

If anything, new technologies and advancements *ensure* that there will always be work for the IT/service industry.
