General Electric is a huge, and old, American corporation. It is much older than the Internet era. It is a conglomerate. It is a combination of at least twenty different big businesses. GE manufactures jet engines, railroad locomotives, home appliances, and, yes, light bulbs. It is in finance and entertainment, and many other things. However, GE has never been a big manufacturer of integrated circuits or computers and is not a software developer. During the 1990s and 2000s GE was looked up to as an example of excellent management. GE has a famous quality program called "Six Sigma." I looked Reiner up in Wikipedia and found that he was at GE from 1991 - 2010. He ran the Six Sigma program, and was Chief Information Officer. The article seems to have been during the time when Reiner was at GE. 1991-2010 was a period of time during which all big companies were working hard to use information technology and the Internet. They had to redesign all their business processes. The article says not only that Reiner is expected to succeed, but expects him to do exceptionally well, because everyone expects GE to be exceptionally good at everything.

I think its just saying hes making the company start being on the internet more
