Transcending IT Planetary Boundaries: Future of cloud, By Pradeep Gupta, Cha...
- The document discusses the future of cloud computing and its potential benefits like cost savings, flexibility, and scalability compared to traditional IT models. However, some industry leaders like Richard Stallman and Larry Ellison have criticized cloud computing as hype.
- Market forecasts predict that cloud computing revenues will grow significantly over the next few years and that 20% of businesses will own no IT assets by 2012. The public cloud computing market in India is currently small but expected to grow rapidly.
- For companies considering cloud adoption, the document recommends starting with storage consolidation and virtualization before moving workloads to private and public clouds over time based on factors like security and control needs.
The future is in the cloud, or at least it's migrating there. Offering scalability, flexibility and agility, the cloud is the obvious solution for businesses seeking to make sense of the deluge of data. Cloud services can also help companies meet sustainability goals and even cut costs. But cloud strategies need to be carefully crafted to avoid the risks of remote storage and realise the potential of cloud-enabled efficiencies.
We are going through a crucial phase of IT innovations leading to business disruption forcing the ‘C’ Level executives to come out of their comfort zone.
It is no more about “How to keep the lights on ?“

Quality Patents: Patents That Stand the Test of TimeAurora Consulting
Is your patent a vanity piece of paper for your office wall? Or is it a reliable, defendable, assertable, property right? The difference is often quality.
Is your patent simply a transactional cost and a large pile of legal bills for your startup? Or is it a leverageable asset worthy of attracting precious investment dollars, worth its cost in multiples of valuation? The difference is often quality.
Is your patent application only good enough to get through the examination process? Or has it been crafted to stand the tests of time and varied audiences if you later need to assert that document against an infringer, find yourself litigating with it in an Article 3 Court at the hands of a judge and jury, God forbid, end up having to defend its validity at the PTAB, or even needing to use it to block pirated imports at the International Trade Commission? The difference is often quality.
Quality will be our focus for a good chunk of the remainder of this season. What goes into a quality patent, and where possible, how do you get it without breaking the bank?
** Episode Overview **
In this first episode of our quality series, Kristen Hansen and the panel discuss:
⦿ What do we mean when we say patent quality?
⦿ Why is patent quality important?

In Last Year’s Episode…
Although we were being told our jobs were in jeopardy,
in truth, they would remain, just more cloud savvy.
”Clickbait” now tells us that AI will end our careers, but
there’s a lot of confusion around role vs. hype.
Layoffs to the tech industry were impactful, leading to
extensive stress in the community.
So how do we overcome it all?

Remote Work
From 2020 on, Remote work was adopted.
Most tools and software couldn’t handle the additional workload of so many
remote workers.
Companies had to pivot to support remote work.
Huge Real Estate impact considering the amount of office space.
Benefits of less commuting, but also remote workers rights matured in 2022
2023 saw an increase in pressure to bring workers back into the office, due to
infrastructure, cyber security threats, etc.
8. z
Supply Chain and Jobs
Decreased workers, flights, shipping and ports
experienced congestion.
Geopolitical tensions and trade restrictions
resulted.
Shift in consumer behavior due to increase in
online shopping and demand for new products.
All this resulted in financial strains and
bankruptcies.
9. z
Decrease in IT Budgets and
Layoffs
During the pandemic, small businesses faced significant impact
and closures.
2022 began the impact to the tech sector, an area that was the
most resilient.
Many tech industries restructured, reallocated resources and
consolidated, leading to layoffs.
Assumption around AI demand drove some decisions as well.
Many roles that may not have had the assumption of AI
inclusion, now included AI features.
11. z
The Crisis of Big Tech
Big Tech has had a large group of specialized roles.
Needs skilled workers for consumers.
Wants to decrease dependency on remote work.
AI options for customer service, customer support.
In the short term, this may appear positive for Big Tech, but
customers and technologists may win in the long run.

Being the Bestest
Consultant
Go small tech and subcontract to Big Tech
Know that big tech laid off the people they needed to ”keep the lights on”
Need varying specialists and generalists.
Learn Data Analytics and AI
Learn Cloud- Azure and GCP, (similar) and AWS services and infrastructure.
31. z
Avoiding Layoffs- Make Yourself More
Bulletproof
Communicate the value you bring, including a weekly status.
Keep your LinkedIn profile up to date.
Network and network more- start looking for your next job a year+.
DON’T overwork on hours. Outside of special situations, I recommend
45 hours a week to avoid burn-out.
Don’t let others waste your time- justify what you spend time on.
32. z
Tips for For Everyone
Your Network is your Lifeline
Redo your CV/Resume and pepper AI in everywhere…
Pursue certifications if they provide you value and you are learning
something you can use.
Know cloud infrastructure and especially services.
Pay more attention to what the role does than the title it’s been
granted in job searches.
33. z
If You Want To Build Your Own Role
Are you hearing, “That’s outside your role” or ”We don’t have anyone to fill that role.” often?
You should be passionate about the main focus of the potential role.
It must encompass an area the business and a loss of revenue that can be proven.
You must have the knowledge, skill and initiative.
Carefully identify what the role should pay and be reasonable.
Build out a full job description and what the value the job role, if filled will bring, including
potential company revenue or savings.
34. z
Self Care (Yeah, it’s Part of This)
• Have hobbies outside of technical work,
(even if it’s doing geeky, technical stuff.)
• When you have a difficult day, do
something for you.
• Have a network of individuals that you
feel comfortable reaching out to for
support.
• Control issues != true leadership skills
40% of
technical
industry has
stated mental
health impact
since the
pandemic.
35. z
Remember, Don’t Stagnate
Learn new skills/technologies
Bridge out to new roles or challenges
Never neglect soft skills
Shift from Negative Online Presence
Foster networking skills
Acceptance that change is the one thing that is constant.
36. z
What We’ve Learned
AI Isn’t REALLY Coming for Our Jobs
AI May Change Many of Our Jobs
AI Will Add More Jobs Than it Will Remove.
We CAN Pivot to Make Ourselves More Resilient
to AI and Economic Downturn Change.
We Can Reinvent Ourselves With New Titles
While Doing Much the Same Job We Already Do
Keep Skills Current and Move With AI, not
Against It.
