With rapid changes in technology, the IT industry needs to change its functions quickly. To maintain a competitive image in the market, the IT sector should have a problem solving strategy to resolve the problems before it eats away time and resources. But, few situations are challenging and perennial when it comes to technology, efficiency, cloud storage and more. Let’s read what exactly these problems are and how it can possibly be resolved: 1. New Technology: It is evident that technology advances rapidly, which in itself is very challenging to implement, as it is new. With new advancements, industry staff at all level are asked to implement that new technology for their organisation’s benefit. But, it should be remembered that every IT company has different priorities and goals and every new technology is relatively not good for every industry. Here, the IT manager should take the responsibility of determining if the new technology would be good for their organisation or not and how challenging it would be for the users and staff. Technologies like cloud computing, mobility, big data are providing best results for the managers who clearly understand the goals and preferences of their organisation.
2. Cloud Computing: Though, cloud has helped many organisations to keep their data safe, there are still many organisations that choose to manage their data themselves by keeping their data and applications in-house. But it is good to move on to cloud in the near future. Or else an organisation can set up an internal cloud to move applications and data off-site. But develop portable applications to avoid any issues in future. Preferably, develop new applications on an open structure that would be responsive to every platform including in-house servers, in-house cloud or any external cloud. It will help you to move any cloud-based solution easily. 3. Big Data Analytics: The concept of big data has been around for years and supposedly 800 percent data will be projected in the next five years. But according to reports, 80 percent data is unstructured and varies in format such as, blogs, documents, video, voice, web search logs, email, animation and standard and non-standard image. The amount of unstructured data is growing and this means that it is going to be really easy to reveal important information interrelationships that were difficult previously. Unstructured data holds “the collective” data (data from groups, social networks and communities), which if revealed can provide information about an organisation’s market and customers. Today, big data analytics is adopting new ways to store and analyse data. The unstructured data calls for new volume handling solutions like 100 GB Ethernet, SSDs, parallel processing which offers good response time. 4. BYOD and BYOA: Prior to the advent of smartphones and tablets, IT had taken over the control of a user's devices. But now, users are using devices without IT's knowledge for both personal and work-related tasks. Initially IT attempted to control user-owned devices in an organisation but it seems difficult as today each user uses his own applications on their device. This threatens IT security. But, it is imperative to secure either your network’s infrastructure or organisation’s data, as suggested by an IT manager. The primary action that could be taken to ensure IT security is to control data access and secure data on servers. Once this is done, allow users to access that data through mobile web apps which will restrict them from storing data on a mobile device. Besides there are many other issues too including Boomers, Energy efficiency, Interoperability, Social Networks and more, which we would discuss in another article. Definitely, IT managers have to face issues from users, customers and staff but they have to analyse the best possible solutions for their organisation. Hopefully, we have encouraged IT mangers to prioritise issues in the best possible way.
