Slowly but surely, in Spain we are taking steps that others were before. Unfortunately for us, a decade does not seem to be enough, we are stubborn and fall repeatedly on the mistakes others. The news tells us that Spanish companies improved their results even though they implement new technologies in their organizations suggests we are technologically backward, but also we are not careful. This news could not but recall what we had Alfons Cornella in his 1994 book Information Resources: The competitive advantage of firms.

But look at the comparisons in the news recently published together what he told us Cornella. Thus, the news have asserted that the advent of new technologies (ICT) had been a reduction in costs to businesses that use them, but that increased investment in technology (49%) and consulting services and collaboration (47%) produced results that had not been increased substantially. Thus, despite the significant impact of information technology and communication in Spanish companies, managers still expect major benefits of the investment dedicated to technology in recent years.

On the other hand, the idea that ICT simplified hierarchical structures, 33 percent of respondents believe that information technologies have not eliminated middle managers and 38 percent denied that his organization is now more horizontal.

If we look now at what Cornella told us in his book, highly recommended reading, the situation that occurred in the early 90s in Anglo-Saxon countries is curiously very similar to that currently produced in Spain. However, Cornella gives us a way forward to exit the technological confusion that apparently clouded the future of business.

The book argues that when organizations are invested in technology, was not a sufficiently coordinated or planned, which made that forcing organizations have to adapt to the technology being put at his disposal, but not vice versa. That is, adapting the technology to organizations. This had an immediate impact on reinvestment, because then the addresses are raised if the cost - was really satisfactory effort. However, even then it was discovered that was not possible to step back on the relationship between organizations and technology, should continue to pursue trying to get a better return on their processes.

The biggest problems faced by organizations, despite great effort and investment in technology development done, are:

• Managers do not have the information they need when they need it.
• It has a large amount of external information resources, nevertheless, are not they require.
• The heterogeneity of operating systems and the diversity of available software often causes inconsistent.
• The isolation that produces the lack of language between those responsible for computer systems department and address of the organization.

We still have a long way to go in Spain in the effective implementation of new technologies in organizations, but taking shortcuts is doable if we learn to harness the skills of people who are trained in information management in organizations and if we start to analyze and learn from the mistakes of others. Another way is possible.
