Cloud Computing is continuing to mature at a rapid pace and I would expect to see more and more “
as a service” offering in 2016. We know the main stream ones like Software as a Service (SaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), and Platform as a Service (PaaS). We have even seen services expand into (Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) and Data Warehouse as a Service (DWaaS). With that being said, I would keep my eye out when it comes to Cloud Computing as a Service as one of the top contenders in 2016.
eeks back one common theme across all five has remained consistent, CIOs still sight lack of skills as their biggest inhibitor. Working in the IT industry for over 20+ years, I’ve experienced the talent shortage firsthand. We had it in the late 80s as the PC and LAN technology entered the business, through the 90s with the dotcom era, and 2000 with virtualization. With all of these trends the skillset required needs change. Although what I listed is a small sample of technologies, the point is that the CIO’s needs are constantly changing to keep up with these trends.
