Forget about major e-com- merce build-outs or fancy infrastructure projects with bells and whistles for 2002. The big IT spending of the past few years - projects such as Y2k remediation, Web- enabling legacy environments and e-commerce applications - is history. Instead, 2002 is shaping up to be a year of hunkering down and consolidating, say IT leaders. A sagging economy and previous investments in Web-based applications, among other factors, have these leaders focused not on adding major new capabilities in 2002, but on tweaking and optimizing what's already in place. Take Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., the country's second-largest cruise company, for example. Before a severe spending cutback triggered by the events of Sept. 11, CIO Thomas H. Murphy had planned to spend this year piloting a high-flying $180 million overhaul of the $3 billion company's entire IT infrastructure.
