Building a plan for speed that also considers long-term objectives will be the best way to clear the hurdles organizations may face in 2023.

At WWDC, Tim Cook explained the three-pronged approach of Apple’s strategy: hardware, software and services. These areas are part of the plan for most tech companies, but what makes Apple unique is the integrated approach it takes.

As with any new trend, businesses are quickly looking for the skills that will lead to IoT success. CompTIA’s latest research on the internet of things found that many of the skills companies consider critical for IoT are in foundational areas of IT.

Companies are exploring a number of new trends as they try to drive new growth or reach new customers, and the natural next question is around getting the right skills. Rather than seeking out highly specialized skills, the right answer is likely to build new skills on top of existing ones.

IT pros have found that their jobs have not disappeared when their companies adopted a cloud approach. Instead, the maintenance tasks have been replaced with more strategic work around workload management.

Just as security is becoming more critical, it is also becoming more complex. One tactic that companies are exploring to address the growing importance and complexity of cybersecurity is the creation of focused security teams.

The role of the IT pro has greatly evolved over the past decade. Some of your colleagues may know you as the go-to person for when their computer is malfunctioning – but as IT advances from the traditional break/fix style to a more strategic approach, your colleagues will get to know you for more than that.

Businesses are beginning to realize that cloud computing can enable an entirely new approach, one that allows IT to take a more strategic role in driving the business forward. Cloud Computing and IT Operations examines the changes taking place within IT teams as they embrace cloud solutions and transform their companies.

Even though IT jobs have been hot for a while now, the market is reaching fever pitch. As companies continue down the path of digital transformation, they are gaining an appreciation for how being tech savvy can separate them from the pack.

One of the major themes building in the technology space has been the threat of artificial intelligence (AI) taking over all the jobs. Thanks to Terminator and Ex Machina, people imagine AI as a sentient force that will soon outperform humans (and possibly even turn evil). In reality, AI has some limitations that aren’t well understood, and it is poised to drive economic growth rather than create social chaos.
