Advice to Management

The company needs to put its best brains into the web-based application and web-content fields so it can effectively compete against Google and the like.

The paradigm shift towards web-based computing is looking more and more possible, especially for the average consumer.

The workstation will always have its place, but it may get limited and confined to professional use.
