I work for a Fortune 150 manufacturing company. When I started working here there was no IT group at all (it was all outsourced). The CEO and President said many times that we were not a software/technology company and that would never be a core focus. Nearly 2 decades later, technology is now listed as number 2 of our top 5 core focus. We are working on converting all contractors into full time employees. The IT group is no longer outsourced and takes up 20-30 buildings, out of 80 buildings on campus. We are still a manufacturing company, but software (websites) has become a huge part of the company with thousands of employees working on it.
