Keepin' Up with the Future

October 24, 2014 1:11 PM

My role at my job is changing and I need to stay more abreast of the latest trends in IT, specifically: enterprise platforms (CRMs, CSMs, Human Resources, General Ledger, and lots more!), mobile strategy, cloud-first strategy, DaaS, and I'm sure things I don't even know about yet. I'm looking for good blogs/online resources that I can stay on top of to help me with this. Note: I do not have a CS background, but am OK reading things that require additional digging to understand.

I see that other people have asked similar questions and I will use the info in them. The latest looks to be from 2012, so I thought it couldn't hurt to ask again.

If you're doing this for a non-profit, then the NTEN conference is basically all about this.

This is a really broad question. Are you going to be supporting these platforms from an infrastructural standpoint? Are you trying to help a business or organization choose between the various platforms? Or are you more interested in becoming a skilled user of the platforms? There are many different answers based on your goal.
