Story: HP: Cloud computing will cut 'dull' IT jobs
What jobs are we talking about?
On re-reading this story - I can see that I should have mentioned what jobs HP sees as most likely to go.
Well, the company is very keen on the idea of centrally managed resources - particularly when it comes to desktops so I am afraid that if you're working on a helpdesk than HP doesn't see that bright a future for you.
The company thinks that there will be less need for helpdesks as everything is going to work that much better in the future - thanks to thin clients and smarter desktop management software - and what desktop management is required will be centralised or even outsourced.
