Actually, I think you live with your data for ever. You can drive your business from your data (and hence identify a business need), and whatever apps your are running at the moment tend to be just the latest and greatest incantation of how to get at it and make sense of it. Data (Information) is king, everything else in IT is pretty much secondary.
