What the IT department will look like in 2015

10/5/2011

 

In this article, Jason Hiner of TechRepublic talks about the IT department of the future. 

 

He predicts the IT department of 2015 will have fewer full-time staff members, will hire more consultants, and will focus on software, mobile, and the cloud.  The oversized, centralized IT department of 2001 is a relic that’s never coming back and IT pros need to prepare for the decentralized IT reality of the future where companies are going to keep fewer IT pros on staff, hire more consultants, and focus their IT resources on software, the cloud, and mobile devices (which will eventually become fully functioning PCs).

 

He goes on to say that the future of IT is going to boil down to three types of jobs:

1)  Consultants

2)  Project managers

3)  Developers
