Outsourcing IT may be a wise move, says Telstra chief
Apr 13 2011, 17:03 PM
Businesses might be wise to consider outsourcing some of their IT operations, which may involve cloud computing, it is suggested.
Dr Hugh Bradlow, chief technology officer at Telstra, recently spoke at the American Chamber of Commerce lunch in Sydney and discussed future developments in the industry.
"The way we did ICT in the 20th century is not the way we need to do it in the 21st century," he stated.
Firms should start to consider their core abilities in terms of technology and consider outsourcing if they are not capable of dealing with all related issues.
Those that are concerned about the security involved with such a move should not worry, as Dr Bradlow explained specialists have effective ways of dealing with such fears.
Healthcare bodies in New South Wales may also soon come to rely on data management, Jan Newland, chief executive officer of General Practice NSW, recently suggested.
