Course: 17581 Duration: 2 Days
 - Evaluate current trends in Information Technology
- Assess the implications of new technologies on business
- Determine competitive advantages which may be realized by leveraging internal/external networks
- Consider the emerging role of virtualization
- Gain a better understanding of current networking technology and its implications
- Examine security technologies and their impact
The development of new technologies in the field of IT is dynamic and volatile. Trying to stay current with emerging trends and concepts can be a challenge, since both the qualitative and quantitative nature of the data can be difficult to analyze within the context of any particular organization.
Current trends in IT attempt to leverage global data communication networks, virtualization of resources and deploying services rather than software in an attempt to maintain a competitive advantage in the market place. In order to succeed, it is critical that Project Managers have a firm grasp of these technologies, the benefits associated with their use and how they may best be applied.
The purpose of this course is to explain the motivation for this transition, describe the new technologies and analyze the role they may play in today’s organizations.
