According to U.S. News and World Report, "there seems to be no end to organizations' appetite for advanced or improved data communications technology.  And e-commerce continues to increase the need for systems analysts."  According to Gartner, by 2017 the Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) will spend more on Information Technology (IT) than the Chief Information Officer (CIO).  Technology is at the heart of marketing and marketing is already a major buyer and influencer of technology.
