Please join me in welcoming Raj, who has since today become a blogger on Tech IT Easy. So who is Raj Sheelvant?

Currently working as a Project Manager at Intel, he has 15 years of IT experience working in various roles. He holds an MBA-degree from W.P. Carey Business School of Arizona State University at Tempe, Arizona and an MSc in Engineering Science from University of Toledo, in Ohio.

Raj has joined us to write about his passion, leveraging IT to create, expand, and sustain competitive advantages for corporations. He started his blog, itstrategyblog.com, for a similar purpose, where he writes about IT strategy, emerging technology and globalization. But before we shout “IT Doesn’t Matter!,” as Nicholas Carr so boldly stated in his controversial document, Raj proposes that it does make a big difference, if managed properly and when used in processes that differentiate organisations from their competitors (did I phrase that right, Raj?).

In the spirit of diversity, I’ll just come right out and say that I very much perceive IT as a commodity, a tool, and that the real strength lies in people and applications, but I will enjoy arguing that with Raj through future blogposts and conversations, as I hope you will too.

So, welcome Raj! I look forward to reading your stuff!
