 Today's IT manager is definitely not the same as five years ago. The rapid changes that the area is undergoing bring new challenges and also many opportunities. It is necessary to be attentive to adaptations, to be trained and to follow the news at a significantly more dynamic pace.

In this trend, the role of the IT manager is undergoing the most dynamic and rapid change, since the PCs hit the market and the internet has provided the creation of structured communication networks.

The leaderships of the IT departments become part of the executive decision boards, and disruptive solutions are required from them and fully aligned with the business objectives.
