A few months back, IDC released a study, underwritten by Microsoft, that predicted cloud computing would eventually add about 14 million jobs to the global economy. But other jobs are indirectly affected by the cloud. No matter how you look at it, the cloud will be part of many job descriptions to be written over the next few years.
Here are five key ways cloud computing is reshaping the way business is conducted:
- Information technology is becoming a shared responsibility for everyone, not confined to a single, specialized department.
- More and more rapid innovation is being made possible on the job, and "failure" is becoming an option.
- End-users are designing their own applications.
- It's a "DIY" economy in which "outsourcing" is becoming irrelevant.
- Everyone will be part of a technology company, regardless of what core business they are in.
