Kris Gandillon, former Director of IT Infrastructure at The Outsource Group

I think it's a pendulum swing. It's either totally technology or totally business. We've been over here for a while, but I think it will swing back. There's got to be a happy medium between business and technology where it's a win-win for both sides from the standpoint of the only reason technology really exists is to solve a problem, whether it's a business problem, a government problem, an industrial problem, an environmental problem, whatever it is, those problems need a solution and oftentimes technology is the solution.

Edward Petti, Manager of IT West Palm Beach and Kennedy Space Center at Aerojet Rocketdyne

I think as we get more and more of the newer generation employees, I expect different types of IT with that.

Dan Dylla, Global IT Director at Measurement Specialties

Our company is looking at a triggering event, so either they'll acquire a larger company that will have better systems that we'll convert to, or we'll get acquired by someone else. And then it's someone else's problem. It's a terrible [position to be in].What's really tough for me is I came from a very profitable company in the medical industry. In medical it's different. We bought the best of everything and had tons of money. Now I'm just in the total opposite. We're very, very tight.

Timothy Barbay, Infrastructure Manager at Community Coffee Company LLC

I'm not too worried [about my job] – there will always be the need for technology. As long as you stay on board with a good company and you bring in value and services, you'll be fine. If they're getting rid of you for another reason, because of cloud, there's probably another reason. It's just more or less will you still be able to enjoy it? If it's not enjoyable I'm not going to do it.
