Confirming your digital skills – digitally, of course
Summary
I recently had the opportunity to sit down and chat with Thomas Erl, a prolific top-selling author in the IT space, and founder of Arcitura Education Inc. who has seen many of these changes unfolding. We are also seeing contemporary variations of machine learning and artificial intelligence now becoming part of the IT mainstream, along with more recent innovations, such as blockchain, IoT and DevOps. We also have a separate vendor-neutral containerization accreditation program, which can tie in with DevOps, microservices and cloud computing, as well as service APIs and SOA. But we also have to acknowledge the fact that there are many, often very large organizations -- public, private sector -- predominant in their industry, important in their business communities, but also still heavily reliant on massive legacy environments. Many of those organizations need to carefully plan to what extent new technologies and practices can be adopted while factoring in the support of and integration with existing legacy assets.
