2. “When I were a lad...” -30 years behind a keyboard- Looking Back to look Forward
3. Messy Agenda The IT market place; what’s happening Gimme some truth – gimmicks and myths What would Del do? IT & the 3rd sector Making do My experiences day to day What was it like? What’s to come? Effect of Yoof & IT on tomorrow Home/Work and the 24/7 world DP is mastered DD is coming Security – A virus a day Trying to make some sense of it all…
10. Partner with very able 3rd parties to give total IT service – Dell, Microsoft, Information works,SVAnticipatory Transparent Quality Value -“Enablers” Co-Operative Systems
11. The Story So Far – “Life with an Android” Phone in there somewhere - powerful, clever, but unreliable Where’s the user manual?
12.
13. Attributes of youth – change orientated, less discipline, IT accelerates and magnifies this
14. Attributes of age – experience, discipline, + control of resourcesYoof and IT –coming soon to your office
15. Data Processing to “Doing” Processing Data Processing Databases – Things, attributes, transactions Same concepts 1930-2010 We’ve become “transaction adept” – e.g. arrange an event like this Leaving a data-trail has mixed consequences!
16. “Doing” Processing – Intelligent DP, & “Virtual” Becomes “Reality” Active Systems - e.g. Leisure Activity auto linked to Healthcare auto linked to Tax breaks We had first generation that had never not known IT in 2000, In 2020 a generation that always ‘played’ and now ‘works’ in a virtual world An estimated 10,000 far eastern workers now create virtual objects for ‘time’ poor westerners (+ 4bn needing IT) Depaul’s “Help a Hobo” app raises funds for the Homeless Virtual war (COD) to active war with drones
17. Charities to Social Enterprises Charities have changed like everything else 9-5 becomes 24/7 Dusty pamphlets to websites Non competitive to highly competitive Big expansion of last 10 years leads to big ‘restructuring’ now Trending now : - Sharing resources – Office and IT - Outsourcing
25. Lies, Damn Lies and 99.999% Reliability The internet is the slowest and weakest link KPIs are not the same as the user experience Is your data safe in the cloud? – if history has taught us anything...Sinclair, Amstrad, WorldCom, BSB, Enron, Easynet .NET is clunky vs Terminal solutions Badged data centres – everyone selling the same centres as ‘theirs’
26. Security, Viruses and Malware “The money is in the medicine” An ongoing headache – 15% of our calls, on some days 50% related to this Generally HQ & Core area looked after Home users - very vulnerable Prognosis – Will be messy for some time
27. Trying to move into the handheld space / mass volume servers for data centres What’s Happening With the Big Boys? DELL vs. HP
28.
29. “Google is the best thing that could happen to Microsoft and thus the IT industry”
30. Moving into each others space – e.g. Apple becomes biggest application vendor
31.
32. 10 into 8 will go You have 80% of what you need, do you : Pray/Look the other way? Work harder and make others work harder Innovate – eg Look at the TCO spread cost over 5 years “ I love recessions” Never been a better time to buy a new car or a new server or &
33. Conclusions It’s a ‘messy’ world no clear road maps Major forces in play - Demographics, Economics, Technological There is a need to innovate whilst limiting risk level There are tremendous opportunities and IT is the #1 way to move forward “Worse things happen at sea”
34.
35. – remember to think about tomorrow, and tomorrows’ tomorrow
