I'm writing an article on the job outlook for 2009 and, with the Obama administration now in place, it seems that a substantial number of opportunities will be created and/or funded by the Federal Government.
Now, it's no secret that President Obama wants to link up doctors and hospitals with information technology and that the major hurdle to overcome in the initiative is safeguarding patient privacy.
Now, excuse me if my thinking is slow, but isn't this one of the things that "Information Management vendors" and ECM professionals should have some expertise at? And if so, are they throwing their hats in the ring?
It's early in the game, of course, but I say that those who have intelligence and experience to add to the conversation should make themselves known. And, unless you're EMC or IBM you may think you're too small to participate or to win a government bid.
Think again. Global Submit was tiny when it won the bid to create the technology that the FDA uses to review eCTD submissions.
