== Changes terminology ==
{{
When technology is changing very rapidly in an industry, the aligning of business terms to the distinctions that the technology requires tends to dominate any [[enterprise taxonomy]] development effort. In such circumstances, [[consultant]]s or specific technology training is usually required, as the organization lacks the internal skills or experience with the technologies that it expects to be using soon.
== Example: government ==

In [[government]], for example, citizen use of the [[Internet]] and the increased availability of [[remote work]] has presented special challenges and opportunities, typically called "[[e-government]]". At the same time, internal operational efficiencies have become more of a priority due to rising competition between jurisdictions. Often the first step is to limit the number of different departments or agencies involved. By "consolidating the technology operations of 91 state agencies into the [[Virginia Information Technology Agency]], the State of Virginia estimates an eventual savings of nearly $100 million a year." - [https://web.archive.org/web/20060923031105/http://cpr.ca.gov/report/cprrpt/issrec/stops/it/so01.htm#6b]
"Similarly, the [[U.S. National Performance Review]] recommended a data processing consolidation and modernization initiative citing industry experience suggesting operational savings of between 30% and 50%." - [https://web.archive.org/web/20060923031105/http://cpr.ca.gov/report/cprrpt/issrec/stops/it/so01.htm#7b]

These claims also are fairly typical: despite a longstanding admission among experts that there is a "[[productivity paradox]]", the introduction of new information technology and more automated work processes are always assumed to be "more efficient" than what they replace. Accordingly, technology alignment is probably not a passing fad, but, seems to be driven by factors built into business and technology culture.
