I love technology and how it helps us all.    It is my work  and hobby.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am an IT consultant and since I was a kid I have helped  small, medium and large organizations design, develop, stand-up, use, train and project \/program manage implementations and migrations to the latest technologies in order to meet their goals.    I have worked with internal IT organizations, business units, practice managers, Directors, CIO and many others along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a massive transformation underway right now (it actually started a few years back, but now becoming mainstream),  where the complexity of IT is being removed, and the switch to consumption value-based services is affecting the traditional per-hour \/ utilization revenue \/cost models .    The entire industry is being disintermediated and we are well into the storm of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

 Technology is doing to IT  what it did to music, travel industry, retail, and so many others… <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n

I decided to begin formally writing about this transformation,  and what it means to consulting companies, system integrator firms, IT consultants  and  in-house IT departments,  in the blog: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No big plans, just a way to get my thoughts “on-paper” (call it therapy!) \u00a0and perhaps helps others along the way. \u00a0 \u00a0I would enjoy having some other people write their thoughts essays and hope to have interviews with a few IT practitioners, business owners \u00a0and relevant folks in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
