If there is one constant in life, it is change.
When it comes to business, this is even more pronounced. It's important
to keep watch on trends that will impact your business over time,
especially your information technology.
As the
baby boomer generation begins to age out of the work force and the
younger generations begin to move in, they will demand technology
adoption at an unprecedented rate. The generation that has been raised
on smartphones and tablets will demand that these devices be supported
in the workplace. They will expect to work in a paperless environment
and one that is up 24/7, allowing them to work whenever and wherever
they wish.
These new entrants to the work force will
challenge established practices and systems and demand more agile and
efficient solutions to even the smallest business challenges. They
expect technology to enable and support their work, and rightly so. They
have learned and grown with technology as an integral part of their
life experience and they will carry this into the workplace, challenging
the businesses they work for to change, in some cases radically, to
meet the changing demands of an increasingly connected and
technology-based economy.
Technology will
drive our economic growth and recovery. We need to be prepared to
embrace new technologies that will allow our business to grow and adapt.
Mobility continues to push traditional IT infrastructures. The
widespread adoption of smartphones has brought with it requests for
access to sensitive company data in real-time. You need to be prepared
to support this and do so securely.
