- Progress? By definition...
-
"...there are two other significant factors that can impede our progress. The first is the lack of interest among the millennium generation to work on older technologies and the second is the fact that within three years, 30 percent of our legacy application experts will be eligible for retirement."
Impede progress? By not wanting to "work on older technologies"? Um. Yeah. That's exactly the point - we non-gray-hairs want to work on something other than green screen! That *is* progress. Time for the execs to pay up for some modern systems and tools!
You're not gonna convince me that when "30% of our legacy app experts" retire, we *ought* to be just endlessly perpetuating systems as-is. *That* is the failure of CIOs to continuously reinvest in their infrastructure and systems. *That* is why we had a massive last-minute Y2K effort. We have become a culture of "reaping the benefits" and no longer want to put in the investment. I say this both in IT and the culture at large. We want the payout. We want to "feed at the trough". Someone has to pay for it. - Posted by: techboy_z Posted on: 08/21/08 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
