How has technology changed your job?

View all responses

This is a hard question to answer because technology sort of is my job. Mostly. Kind of.

I work for a software company. We make information systems for hospitals (mostly). I won’t say that we’re on the cutting edge, but we try to stay up to date with the latest and the greatest. Sometimes it takes a while to get there, but we get there.

There have been plenty of technological advancements over the course of my almost 20 years here. Most of them have been internal as most of our systems are proprietary. As new ideas in the industry come along we try them on for size. Sometimes we make use of them, sometimes we give them a miss. It all depends on what those new ideas can do for our customers and our systems.

So I would say that changes in technology change the way we do things here, but nothing really turns things upside down on us. We are a tech company. Changes in tech are what we do.

Sorry I couldn’t give you a more exciting answer, but what can you do, right?
