A Gartner framework that ranks companies or their divisions based on their technology adoption profile. The ranking is based not only on the company's current technology adoption strategy, but also on whether this strategy is supported by senior management and adequately funded.
- Type A companies are typically technically aggressive and well-funded, using IT to gain a competitive advantage.
- Type B companies, which make up the majority, are well-funded, traditional IT users who use IT to improve productivity.
- Type C companies are technology and risk averse and try to control IT spend.
Determining the type of business provides business strategists with a powerful way to compare a company's use of technology with that of its competitors and decide when, how and where to introduce new technology.
