Canada The Competitive

摘要

I Have the Honour to Work with some amazing people with ITAC, the Information Technology Association of Canada. In a recent meeting, discussion ensued about maintaining Canada's ability to compete globally. We also heard from industry speakers on the challenges that they are facing hiring people into IT roles. While our tendency to be conservative can protect us against unpleasant surprises, as a business IT has changed fundamentally. Software and hardware companies share customers, and promulgating a homogeneous model doesn't work. Nor does a heterogeneous environment where making the components work together is difficult. It's impossible to achieve scale and return if it's too hard.
