Synergise IT

Quote of the day:
Technology is only as smart as the person/team who developed it. - Sean Lew

P.S. The quote has nothing to do with the post below.

Personally, as a technology consultant, I believe that technology is all too hard for the average person on the street. I am passionate about what I am doing and sometimes I struggle to learn new technology, ideas and just analysing some of these stuff can be a pain. So for the average Joe, wouldn’t this be too much for him?

For enterprise software, its even more complicated. It takes so much understanding, analysis, development, testing and support for the system and IT keeps changing, new stuff has to be implemented and new business rules.

I do believe that IT should be simplified. Instead of large Oracle / SAP implementation, SOA should be used. Build them in modules, change whatever you want, whenever you want, however you want - at a low cost. Data should be organised in a smart and logical way using Mike2.0. Websites/GUI should be 100% user friendly.

I do believe that IT is moving towards the path where everything is simplified for the user and more AI is built in to understand what the user is thinking off. One good example is when excite, lycos was around, searching for anything was hard. One needs to type in the correct phrase and understand search technology to get the results that one is expecting. Google made it simple.. just type and go.. and Google enhanced it by storing your search history and understanding your general needs thus providing a better search experience.
