The Future of IT Infrastructure (and How it Fundamentally Will Change the Role of the CTO): While there have been massive changes in IT infrastructure over the past few decades, those changes pale in comparison to the changes that will occur over the next several years. Ubiquitous virtualization and wireless, the "consumerization" of IT and cloud-based infrastructure will not only cause significant changes in the types of services IT departments offer, but will require new skills and expertise from school district technology leaders and decision-makers.
