Discussion Shared Practice - Reflection and Trends PART II - Assignment Example

1069604 - DISCUSSION SHARED PRACTICE - REFLECTION AND TRENDS PART II Reading your post gave me a very deep insight on the need to integrate IT into the organization, rather than merely having it as one of the usual assets that the organization possesses. I have come to gain the understanding that by integrating IT into the critical component of the organization, it is possible for the organization to make the best of the information system since the organization assigns to IT, all the needed resources, budget, attention and time (Chen and Chang, 2012).

Expanding on your presentation on the trends that are expected of which you mentioned the issue of mobility, I am convinced that the era of IT mobility is already with us and that into the future, there will be much emphasis on accessibility, such that the need to build more devices that can give access to internet will be given attention. If for example there will be laptops that come with preinstalled internet access, it should be even easier to move IT everywhere a person goes, given the importance that internet plays in IT system (Currier, 2010).

This is because for all this while, I had really not thought about how basic human factors can also deny an organization access to information needed to play very specific roles at a given time frame. But mentioning issues like sickness makes it important that the means of storage of IT data could be through a more accessible means such as cloud storage, which demands access over the internet (quote). I am not surprised that you mentioned the means of storage as one of the trends affecting business.

To add to your presentation, I am hopeful that organizations can get the most out of the future of information system if they will build a workforce that is ready to embrace the trends. By this, the need to employ workers who have in-depth knowledge on the use of IT will be emphasized.References
