Increasingly, working in IT is becoming less about technical skills and more about integration.
While there are still roles requiring deep technical experience, for most corporate IT workers their role will shift from implementation to architecting.
your staff are going to require new skills, modes of thinking, performance monitoring, and rewards structures. Essentially, facilitating your staffs’ transition is simply too important to leave to HR.
Old vendor relationships may no longer be as critical, and you might end up dealing with anyone from Amazon to Apple, players who only recently began to play in the enterprise space.
