Smith addresses the topic, "Hybridization of Administrative Systems", examining the trend "Toward CIOs Acting as Integrators."

She writes, "As hybridization of administrative systems progresses to displace the single-vendor campus ERP, CIOs must exercise their skills as integrators to ensure that enterprise data stays connected and intact."
