The New World of I.T.

The Information Technology (I.T.) industry is undergoing a major transition, no different than when the industry shifted from one of monolithic mainframe systems to personal computers, or from local area networks to the age of the Internet. As with any transformation, the change will drastically impact what I.T. departments have gotten comfortable doing for the past couple decades. This latest state of change is being driven by a more tech savvy workforce in an environment where the consumer of information and technology services has choices that extend beyond the enterprise datacenter into the world of cloud computing. In this book, bestselling author, technology strategist, and world renown public speaker, Rand Morimoto, provides insight to the impetus of this change and what early transition organizations have already done to successfully navigate their way to the New World of I.T. Dr Morimoto touches on concepts including B.Y.O.D., Social Networking, and Public and Private Cloud integration, and how those at the helm of technology leadership in enterprises can adapt their I.T. environments to not only take advantage of the changes in the industry, but fundamentally transform the role of I.T. from being tools that employees use day to day, to an enabler that drives the success of the entire organization.
