Susan LandryTo succeed with SOA, advanced Web applications, process orientation and other application trends, dramatic changes are needed in staffing, skills, sourcing and structure. Baby-boomer retirement rates and a diminishing technical graduate pool exacerbate the challenge. This presentation examines future resource requirements and describes the strategies, processes and approaches to gradually yet rapidly transition the application organisation.
Key Issues:
  • What skills and knowledge will be required, and what is the right resource mix?
  • How can current staff master new skills, and what career road-maps are possible?
  • How do you select and transition to new organisational frameworks?
