Douglas Merrill, Google Inc.’s Chief Information Officer (CIO) Douglas Merrill: “We’re a decentralized technology organization, in that almost everyone at Google is some type of technologist. At most organizations, technology is done by one organization, and is very locked-down and very standardized. You don’t have the freedom to do anything. Google’s model is choice. It’s a little bit less cost-efficient — but on the other hand, I get slightly more productivity from my [Google’s] employees.””]
