How has the proliferation of mobile devices affected IT professionals?
What will be an ideal response?
In the constantly changing world of IT, no area is more dynamic than Internet technology. Three examples of evolving trends are Web 2.0, cloud computing, and mobile devices. Systems analysts should be aware of these trends and consider them as they plan large-scale systems.
Mobile devices have become commonplace. Smartphones and tablets are now found in personal use and across the enterprise in most organizations. Developing apps for mobile devices requires new platforms, such as IBM’s Bluemix shown in Figure 7-5.
Mobile devices introduce a slew of new challenges for IT professionals. These include managing the BYOD movement, security concerns, and overall lack of control of employee computing capabilities. But mobile devices also offer several improvements in the IT professional’s life, such as the ability to call upon computing resources as needed.
