Joe Sitter Special Presentations: Paradox Management Have you noticed all the TERMINOLOGY EVERYONE USES, BUT NOBODY UNDERSTANDS? Have you ever wondered if I.T. operations are critical, why do we OUTSOURCE THEM? Is it true that HOBBYIST AND RENEGADE PROGRAMMERS really do OUTPERFORM CORPORATE TEAMS? These are just a few of the paradoxes that will be discussed in the following topics by Joe Sitter: Topic 1: THE OUTSOURCING JUGGERNAUT AND THE POPSICLE TRUCK OF LIFE Outsourcing represents an irrestible force to be reckoned with in our I.T. industry today. This presentation will survey the development of this MEGATREND, focusing on the impact of outsourcing on both organizations and individuals. Join us for a fast-paced review of this crucial I.T. dynamic. Topic 2: THE OPEN SOURCE MOVEMENT - Value and Pitfalls For The I.T. Organization Unexamined until recently, the informal, worldwide collaboration efforts that have given us Apache, Linux, and Perl have become a disruptive 'wildcard'force in the computer world. Join us for a fast-paced examination of how a loosely-knit global community of hobbyist and renegade programmers can outperform well-funded corporate software development! Presenter: Joe Sitter
