The problem with this vision

maldain 8th Apr 2008

Is that HP see's the IT department as going away. Just a minor question if a company outsources it's infrastructure and that infrastructure requires maintenance who does the work? I'd guess whoever the infrastructure has been outsourced to in the first place. The next piece is when that VP of marketing's PC goes belly up who they gonna call when the IT guys are gone? You think they're going to wait the week or so to schedule an appointment and have a tech come fix the problem or they gonna hire a guy on the departmental level to fix the PC. IT jobs aren't going away they are being moved out to the departmental level. Which is going to mean more turf wars and more corporate politics and less communication between departments. It really doesn't matter if your network is serviced by a 3rd party if when it breaks you don't have somebody who can fix it NOW not based on a service agreement.
