The insufficient number of IT specialists has a significant impact on the functioning of the enterprise. 76% of respondents in the Polcom and Intel report consider staff shortages to be the most important factor hindering the company’s development. It is not surprising that IT specialists are the most desired and sought-after group of professionals in the job market.
The strategic role of the IT departments
The digital transformation has made internal IT departments in companies more important – their role has become crucial for the functioning of the business. In the past, the IT manager decided on the appropriate IT solutions, which the business had to cope with. Today, IT managers recognize the need to provide specific solutions for the business, which completely changes their role in the organization. These teams actively participate in activities aimed at developing the company, as well as developing strategies and implementing modern solutions.
However, increasing the responsibility of IT departments within the company can lead to overload of the people working in them, and thus a decrease in their efficiency and productivity. How can this be prevented? Cloud technology comes to the rescue.
Unleashing the potential of specialists
Choosing an external provider can unleash the potential of employees. Tasks such as maintaining infrastructure, protecting sensitive corporate data, constantly monitoring security incidents, or managing databases are delegated externally. This relieves internal IT teams to a significant extent and allows them to focus on core business activities.
Cloud computing will gain importance as IT departments need to quickly provide infrastructure resources to shorten product time-to-market. Our surveyed managers also believe that cloud computing will accelerate project implementation. Others believe that this will translate into the ability to meet business needs and user needs – user experience – more quickly. In fact, everyone is right, as cloud solutions offer a whole range of benefits, and these solutions can be tailored directly to your needs – emphasizes Robert Czarniewski, CFO of Polcom.
