How Cloud Computing is Changing Many Job Descriptions



Remember I put the picture late

I am writing this blog about how cloud computing is a game changer for many companies, but it is also changing the nature of jobs itself. It really is changing the ways of the information technology department and other parts of the work world as well. This will change a lot for the chief information officer because of all the strategic roles it plays in the direction of business. There are a lot of responsibilities to identify and leverage resource- whether they come from the cloud or the company's own data center.  There a lot of facts that show that cloud is able to help chief information officers spend more time on business strategy and innovation. It is also known to help them see their position as valuable manager’s paths, to pursue other management roles.
They are problems to cloud also is that companies like global marketing will have lots of trouble finding people to who have the skills to make everything work together. When companies switch to cloud there is a need for professional and managers that are more focused on business development than they are in application development. This is a strong argument because there are so many things that people can say about cloud.  By them being more focused on application development this will make thing a lot easier because of the fact of more productivity in these companies. 


This will also create greater opportunists for architects, and some off shoots will include cloud architect, cloud capacity, planners, services managers and business solutions consultant. Another good thing is that Software engineers are starting to be in a great spot as a result of the growth of cloud. A list of companies is making applications for smart phones and tablets. Also if people want to develop ‘cloud’ software hosted online. By this happening this will make the job market for software engineers bigger and better for all types of people. Personally I think that cloud would make a big Difference in the world because of the list of thing it can offer. When it comes down to making chief information officers better at what they do, or making the best of a company as much as they can. http://www.youtube.com/user/IBMVideos?v=YTv85eyfFBY

  1. I agree with what was said in that cloud could offer a lot of positives as well as negatives to a company because of one how it could truly help a company grows much larger but it is also still a new product which could hurt companies. Overall the aspect that it is changing many job descriptions throughout the information technology department is something that this department should be happy about because it is only making their department grow in a positive manner. I see how some might not like this idea because it would allow others to potentially look at what they are doing for their work and confidential reasons but I see it mostly in a positive way. I agree that cloud would make a big Difference in the world because of the list of things that it has to offer.
