To figure that out, you need to ask a few key questions:
- How is our business going to change?
- Who will determine what functions are cloud-ready and which are not?
- How do I move adoption forward in a way that maximizes benefit and minimizes risk?
- Which IT operations must stay in-house, perhaps because of compliance or criticality?
- What job skills and roles will we need to add or retain, and which will decrease in importance?
- Will the enterprise need more or fewer managers?
- In what areas?
Several essential points emerged that will have profound impact on the future of your business, your IT organization—and your career.
- The public cloud is here to stay, and usage will grow. Even cautious organizations will consume services, including business-critical functions, as providers mature and build trust relationships with enterprises.
- Internal IT staff levels will generally either stay static or contract slightly, depending on the types of services adopted.
- Traditional IT technical roles will be less in demand, replaced by “softer” but broader skills, such as provider contracting and management.
- The staffing levels and job skills required in any given organization will depend heavily on the public cloud service models adopted: software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS) or infrastructure as a service (IaaS).

Excellent article.I understand total topic very meaningfully.Thanks
There are two ways to outsource your technology skills; on a project basis and on a retainer. If you need a website built or a system installed, hire out the project. If you need your systems maintained on a weekly or monthly basis, hire a company on a month to month retainer, or even setup a support contract with the vendor of your system.
