IP EXPO: Guest post logs 'rise of digital native'

Friday 21st October 2011

The IT world has changed, fundamentally, according to a guest post on the IP EXPO website.

The comment focuses on the inter-generational impact of such significant changes - a consideration that healthcare commonly considers as staff members span individuals both confident with new IT systems and those to whom it presents a significant challenge.

Not every organisation has admitted that cloud computing is as profound a change as it is to our industry, the post states.

Some are in danger of being left behind in technology and in attracting and retaining people talent, or both, the post continues.

There will be a significant long-term impact of the demands that the digital native generation are putting on infrastructures and service delivery organisations, the guest post predicts.

These digital natives are now entering the workforce with a set of expectations about IT that is different from those of the older generation who designed, built, implemented and ran the systems of today.

Finally, the guest post comments on the role and importance of control in cloud computing.

Today's IT systems were designed with complete control in mind. Control is now a very different thing in the world of cloud computing and cloud delivery, it says.

Those that embrace and look to take advantage of this change will retain better talent and make their organizations more effective.
