Software-as-a-Service: Changing The Benefit Packages IT Organizations Offer

If you work in the information technology industry, for instance, especially in the software industry, chances are you are accustomed to having the same days off from work as everyone else: bank, religious, and national holidays—and, if you are creative about your planning—vacation days that you take before and after these holidays to create an extended break, usually coinciding with times others in your life are also away from work and school. But, the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model will likely change all that. And, the changes don’t bode well for family vacations or extended holidays with your sweetheart.

Technical and Scientific Communicators as Infopreneurs  

The technology trend for the future can be summed up in four words: instantaneous global information access. Advances in communications (wireless and electronic) and microprocessor technology will be responsible for the majority of this technology trend. The demand for immediate access to information from and to anywhere in the world will create a need for people with the requisite skills to design, develop and/or locate, and disseminate that information in as many formats as possible. To compete in this increasingly specialized information universe, technical and scientific communicators, information architects, and interactive information systems designers must expand their view of what they do to encompass the idea of 'infopreneuring' and see themselves as infopreneurs.
