There are many online and cloud-based solutions being implemented by companies these days. This can make an internal intranet network feel redundant, clunky, and dated.

However, it’s important to consider how your intranet can serve your company. Here is a quick rundown of how an intranet works, why it’s beneficial, and how you can upgrade your current setup to serve a cutting-edge, 21st-century operation.

What Is an Intranet?

Before breaking down the benefits and modern aspects of an intranet, it’s important to differentiate what, exactly, a modern intranet network is.

Internet and Intranet, What’s the Difference?

Both internet and intranet are digital spaces that specialize in the transfer and communication of data. However, the similarities tend to stop there.

The common term internet refers to a public digital forum that anyone can use to access, upload, and download information

An intranet is a much smaller, privatized space. While it functions in many ways like the internet, an intranet is exclusive to a company or organization. It requires credentialed logins, is only available to company personnel, and contains internally-facing data.

If internet and intranet were a retail store, the former would be the customer-facing elements like the customer service counter or the shopping space. The latter would be the stockroom, back office, and other employee-exclusive areas of the workspace.

The Evolution of the Intranet

Intranets have been a common corporate tool for over two decades. Originally an intranet system’s job was simple. It helped with storing and distributing documents. Full stop.

However, as with all tech-related items, over time, the concept of the intranet has continued to develop. It has branched out to cover more company-related activities, most of which revolve around that basic need to share information.

For instance, modern corporations use their intranet to share documentation, as always. However, they can also use it to propagate digital items like upgrades and org charts throughout an organization’s internal system.

In a sense, a modern intranet serves as a sort of town square or a central hub for a company’s digital activity. It has become the private, employee-only center of digital operations.

Why Is Intranet Helpful?

When used correctly, an intranet allows a company to tap into several powerful benefits, including:

  • A more developed and identifiable company culture as cultivated and represented in your unique intranet network;
  • An easier way to grant and revoke employee permissions and access to sensitive company information;
  • A greater sense of visibility and transparency across various verticals in your organization — i.e. avoiding information silos;
  • Improved collaboration with a central system in place that anyone with access can search and utilize;
  • Greater productivity through less need for unnecessary questions, communications, or the repeated sending of documentation;
  • Providing a centralized internal space in a remote or hybrid workplace for your team to operate within, regardless of their location.
  • The ability to secure and oversee your company’s sensitive documentation and other data.

There are many reasons to continue to have an intranet in any sizable organization. However, if you do so, you want to go about setting it up and maintaining it the right way.

How to Upgrade Your Intranet

It’s not hard to see the potential benefits of a good intranet system. Nevertheless, as with all tech, there are downsides to an intranet as well. A few of the biggest concerns to keep in mind include:

  • A company-exclusive network can make inter-company collaboration difficult at times;
  • It’s easy to suffer from a low adoption rate in an already overly complex, tech-driven work environment;
  • Updates and IT administration can be a chore;
  • Cybersecurity is a concern, especially when an intranet system operates on dated software, which is common.

The good news is you can address these issues and still capitalize on the benefits of intranet in your business. Here are a few areas that you want your IT to focus on if you want your intranet network to help rather than hinder your business:

Consider Communication

Do your best to integrate your intranet system with your company communication tool of choice.

Integrate Elsewhere, Too

Communication is key. However, any other apps that can integrate with your intranet can also reduce time spent switching between apps and rectifying or copying data.

Reduce Extraneous Applications

The modern worker is inundated with apps. Whenever possible, simplify your work apps and keep your team running on a lean and mean tech stack.

Streamline Search

It’s easy for an intranet system to get cluttered with information. Make sure it’s easy to search for the latest version of a document or update.

Structure Data

Set strict rules for how your employees are to manage updates as well as the disposal or categorization of old documents. Also, make it clear that it’s important for those with unique information to upload it to your intranet system. This will avoid information bottlenecks in your network.

Create an Adoption and Maintenance System

Consider how you’ll encourage your employees to adopt your intranet and how you’ll train them. Also, set up a system to garner feedback and update the network as you go along.

Consider Both UX and Analytics

Along with these basic intranet capabilities, you want to keep things in mind like user experience and analytics. The former can help your employees buy into using your intranet network. The latter can help you maintain a solid idea of how effective your system is and where it can be improved.

There are many factors to keep in mind when considering an intranet solution. You may be dealing with an existing but outdated and insecure option. You may be thinking of migrating from third-party-owned cloud-based SaaS platforms so that you can operate from an internally grounded network.

Regardless of whether you’re updating the old or building the new, there are many ways that you can benefit from setting up a good intranet network for your company. The important thing is that you take each step of the process carefully.

From cybersecurity to employee buy-in to updates and user experience, make sure to think the process through beforehand. If you can do that, you can establish an intranet network that is a genuine benefit to your company’s internal operations.

It seems that in recent years whenever there is a discussion around the water cooler about anything IT related, the faces of both professionals and the general public are transformed into concerned, sullen expressions leading to a generally hushed atmosphere. The elephant in the room of course is a general distrust surrounding cybersecurity (the internet in general) and the frustration that arises from this topic. 

The main reason behind this is that in recent years there has been a big uptick in malware, hacking campaigns, and privacy issues on the internet. Cybercrime has been flourishing, unfortunately, and bodes well with the convenience that 2020 brings for ‘hackers’ (home isolation). In our evermore interconnected way of life with more and more online privacy issues, there is a certain (big) topic that raises concern and needs attention; The Internet of Things, or IoT in short. There are several security challenges for IoT, and such challenges will definitely need to be addressed for a healthier, safer internet. 

IoT devices can be referred to as internet-connected tools that aid us in our everyday life. These ‘things’ are networked physical objects that can range from; digital accessories such as watches to appliances in the home such as lighting and camera systems, even dishwashers. The future of the internet forecasts that as many devices as possible will be connected to the internet, via the cloud, which is why it is so important to talk about home IoT safety.

An Overview of Home IoT Devices

The idea of smart homes and the need for an ‘electronic’ assistant is nothing new. We can go back to 1966 when the ‘Echo IV’ device was released which was a basic computer that helped create shopping lists, control temperature, and so on. It never really took off, because of the exorbitant price. Today though, as high-speed internet is readily available and the demand for IoT devices is increasing, prices are falling and IoT is becoming commonplace. What will happen is that with 5G globally in place, IoT will become commonplace.

In order to visualize how IoT devices can actually improve our lives, think of this; you live in a world where IoT devices can do the following things;

  • Your car can recognize you approaching (via the key), it can pull up for you, unlock or turn on the lights if it is dark
  • Your smartphone can adjust the lights in your house in tandem with sensors, as well as adjust the heating or air conditioning
  • Your home IoT assistant device (Amazon’s Echo, for example) can act as a hub and control anything from lights, switches, and locks to other smart home devices
  • Your home IoT device can also talk to you, suggest things and look up anything on the internet

Some of the most popular home IoT brands today are;

  • Amazon (home IoT assistants/hubs)
  • Google’s Nest (home IoT devices)
  • Apple Homekit (IoT enabled home appliances and accessories)
  • August Smart Lock (home security that works via Apple Homekit)
  • LIFX Smart Lighting (smart LEDs)
  • Samsung SmartThings (a hub that connects Samsung’s home appliances)

Home appliance makers have shifted their focus towards compatibility with devices such as these listed above (which in no way covers all of the products available today), and this will surely be the trend for years to come.

Home IoT Security Issues

Just as any device connected to the internet today faces security risks, so do home IoT devices. According to telecommunications giant Ericsson, by 2025 there will be upwards of 25 billion IoT devices globally. Also according to them, there are a few critical takeaways regarding IoT security that the industry needs to apply;

  • A reliable IoT infrastructure so that devices that run all the time are functional
  • End-to-end security must be built in from the start in all devices
  • Data is critical and must be accurate
  • The use of 3GPP networks are recommended
  • Traffic separation must be implemented for IoT devices
  • TLS and IPSec protocols must be in place
  • Devices must be GDPR compliant
  • Devices must follow legislation and standards from regulatory bodies

So, following these guidelines, what are the safety issues concerning the IoT home today? Kaspersky has studied some of these security issues. Here’s a few of them;

  • Hackers can launch a ransomware attack at your smart home, forcing you to pay up to gain back your home functionality
  • Access any personal information you have shared with IoT home assistants
  • Hijack your home IoT devices to extract their computing power for their own malicious purposes

Let’s follow up with some real-world examples (some are quite interesting) where IoT devices were hacked;

  • Hackers gained access to a casino by breaching an internet-enabled thermometer, thereby gaining access to the customer database
  • CNN vulnerability testing managed to gain access to home security cameras via a simple method because the devices were not security-enabled
  • A hacker gained access to an IoT enabled baby monitor, later threatened that he will kidnap the baby
  • Ring (owned by Amazon) has had multiple security camera hack incidents
  • According to the FBI, smart TVs can be hacked into in order to use the integrated microphone and camera
  • IoT-enabled ‘smart bulbs’ can be hacked to exploit other connected devices

To sum up, hackers can exploit smart home IoT devices, as you can see from the examples above. Not everything needs to be so gloomy though, as there is always information available and solutions to every problem. 

How To Ensure Safety On Your Home IoT Devices

We have seen how much trouble home IoT enabled devices can potentially enable. However, here are some things you can modify on your devices that will definitely help with that;

  • Use long, mixed, and difficult passwords on all of your devices, including your router
  • Try to avoid using public Wi-Fi, or use a VPN when you do
  • Set-up a guest network for your guests to use at home, as well as a separate network for your IoT devices
  • Secure router by disabling WPS and enabling WPA2 protocol
  • Enable all the high-level security features on your IoT devices
  • Make sure that you enable automatic updates on your IoT devices
  • Make sure your router is configured properly and disable unnecessary services
  • Do your research and only use legitimate products and corresponding software

The Internet of Things may seem like the latest technological craze to sweep the world but it looks like this one is here to stay — the IoT has been labeled by some as the ‘Fourth Industrial Revolution’ is a testament to the wide-ranging effects it is expected to have on businesses and industries.

Whilst you may not be familiar with the term ‘IoT’, you most likely use the technology on a daily basis. Devices that fall under the term ‘Internet of Things’ are also known as ‘smart’ — smartwatches, smart security systems, and smart cars. Essentially, any device that connects wirelessly to a network and remotely transmits data is a member of the IoT.

Internet of Things devices extends connectivity beyond the confines of laptops, tablets, and phones to a broad range of everyday objects including children’s toys. Kids thrive off interactivity and IoT toys can provide fun and engaging learning experiences. However, as with any online device, it is important to be aware of the steps that need to be taken in order to create a safe and secure environment. Internet of Things security is a major concern for many internet security providers and governmental organizations, and with very good reason.

What is the IoT?

The IoT refers to the billions of interconnected devices around the world that utilize data to create a personalized user experience. IoT devices are embedded with sensors and software that allows them to collect and share information with other systems, tailoring our interactions with technology and making everyday tasks easier.

The emergence of several different technologies has facilitated the development of the IoT including low-cost, low-powered sensors, cloud-based storage platforms, and artificial intelligence.

Examples of everyday IoT devices that you might find inside your home include smart home security systems, wearable health monitors, smart light switches, and universal remotes.

Further afield, IoT technology has recently found its way into the business, industrial and agricultural sectors. It is expected to play a substantial role in future urban planning and the battle against rising global emissions.

What IoT devices might your child have?

The entertainment industry has always benefited from emerging technologies, whether it be the 1920s arrival of ‘talkies’ (movies with sound) or the 2007 release of the very first iPhone. Connected toys are now commonplace in many homes and whilst they may be popular with children, it’s important for parents to be aware of the types of security concerns associated with these devices.

Parents should be immediately cautious of any toy that contains a camera or microphone, has GPS capabilities or internet connectivity. The makers of these devices may not have malicious intentions but that doesn’t prevent cybercriminals from taking advantage of lax security systems in order to obtain personal information and endanger children.

IoT toys and children’s devices that you may have in your home could include baby monitors, smart toothbrushes, wearable devices (including fitness trackers for kids, and GPS monitoring systems), and tablets designed to teach children to read.

There are many benefits to these toys. They can allow you to keep an eye on your child from afar, track their location, and can teach a variety of skills in a fun and interactive manner however there are many legitimate concerns that have been raised regarding the security of IoT devices. Cyber safety for kids has never been more important and so you may want to think twice before bringing another connected toy into your home.

IoT and security 

Given the amount of data that we freely hand over to IoT devices, Internet of Things security should be a foremost concern for all consumers. Connected devices collate masses of personal information that can be used by cybercriminals to infiltrate home networks and commit a range of cybercrimes including identity theft.

There are several steps that you can take to secure IoT devices and connected toys:

  • Install reputable security software on all connected devices.
  • Create strong and unique passwords for all accounts, using a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and special characters.
  • Conduct research before you purchase any device that has network capabilities. It is important that you know who is accessing your information, where it is being stored, and if it is being shared with third parties.
  • Use a VPN to provide a secure and private network connection.
  • Regularly visit the firm-makers’ website to check for security updates.

Following these steps is vital in order to ensure your children are accessing the online world in a secure manner. IoT toys can provide endless hours of learning and entertainment but before purchasing that connected device, be sure that you are taking the appropriate measures to safeguard your home and family.

Vmware is one of the tools most in demand today when virtualization time has come. Virtualization is the process by which a resource is emulated, including a complete operating system, thus it needs to be a safe and proactive environment. VMware security tool’s fame is becoming legendary as it owns the hottest of novelties!

Virtualization, New Demands for the Future

The fluid and secure access to digital tools is a basic aspect in our present day, especially in the field of work. These demands present us today with a new and more ambitious challenge: to enable an efficient Remote Management Workspace, one that is capable of protecting the new world’s digital highways, not only today, but also in the transition to the next technology dimension, the Internet of Things, which just cannot wait to emerge on Earth.

A system capable of achieving such a transition, from the 4G platform to the Internet of Things, should be based on machine virtualization technology. Virtual machines (VMs) offer the possibility of running an entire operating system just as if it were installed on a physical server, but without being so, since these operating systems will run on one remote physical computing device, which is known as the host. VMware is the undisputed leader in virtualization, completely equipped and ready to provide you with what you need to manage every element of your virtual environment, such as Endpoints, subnets, all types of networks and platforms, diverse applications, data centers, the cloud, and ultimately the Internet of Things, all with specific demands, but don’t need to worry, you are granted the power to easily run any operating system that is installed on a remote physical machine, no matter the locality.

How secure is VMware’s virtual environment?

One of the challenges that, in view of this new virtual universe, decidedly arises, is that of security in the telecommunications environment of the future, where interconnection systems must support both human data packs and electronic expressions of AI objects, all in the same virtual universe, a tech dimension certainly still difficult to conceive today. Unparalleled as it is, the coming upgrade in science informatics is still a concept closer to the science fiction scenery.

There are, in fact, no precedent elements to our knowledge sufficient to picture in our minds such a conjunction of elements coming to life before our very eyes, giving us information like reading our minds and actually performing tasks for us, and among them. This is the IoT realm, and it is basically composed of two distinct ecosystems: the Consumer (CIoT) and the Industrial (IIoT). Both participants, in perfect synchronicity, actively inform each other, share ideas and collaborate in real time towards innovation objectives, taking advantage of different strategies, obtaining discrete ideal results. VMware is the tool ready to take the challenge to, safely, take us from the old to the new platform, from 4G town to the 5G realms.

In order to have an idea of how powerful the VMware firm is, let us bring just an example of this next level of security power. A high-level national security organization was commissioned the task of cracking VMware virtual machines, well, they went through a half year in a serious effort of splitting this Virtual Machine architecture. The story ended up with the highly trained security team implementing the system themselves.

Going to the essentials of a secure infrastructure, we need to point at the first element in demand: our IP address. This crucial element requires a dedicated channel of its own. The good news is, there are tools built for this in our 4G era. Yes, we are talking about VPN services and, the demand is increasing and so you may surely be deciding the best between cyberghost and expressvpn at this very moment because you know how to follow a good advice, which is key to success. VMware is a true wonder on its own, but needs the complementarity of a good VPN to make System Screen Sharing an agent that allows us to work on a secure virtual platform, or a multiplatform, as we go getting ready to step on the next evolution path; so remember, IP shielding comes first, as we go diving in 4G’s pool, preparing for the incredible 5G’s Oceans.

At this very moment, the ambitious goal of protecting the IT infrastructure, of armoring the increasingly vast and varied interactions between user and data, is becoming an incredibly complex task. As a first step, VMware will secure the digital workspace for a wide range of endpoints, including the IoT, managing security policies and allowing only authorized conditional access to mobile, web, cloud and windows apps.

Next, VMware’s virtual cloud network’s power will keep the digital labor field connected with the cloud, providing every subnet with a secure and consistent foundation within a range of solutions to make security intrinsic, just a natural happening. For instance, features like micro segmentation will reduce the attack vector to stop potential cyber threats in their very tracks, while automation will fix these issues and get you back on track in milliseconds, before an evil happening attempts to take it first step.

The latest advances in VMware Security

VMware’s Security level development never rests, and we have some hot and interesting news to back up why we believe it will continue to be the best security tool, as following:

  • VMware is fully equipped to enable real-time, over-the air Modern Management and Security automation of desktops and laptops, no matter how far they may physically be.
  • VMware Workspace Security now joins the incredible Virtualization package of this firm, a security tool that combines unified terminal management with the security platform.
  • VMware Carbon Black is a Next-Generation Endpoint Protection Platform capable of enabling organizations on a really proactive structure that stops more threats through its AI Engine, providing specific EDR capabilities designed to quickly identify root cause and kill any evil possibilities.
  • VMware Workspace ONE Simply and securely delivers and manages any app on any device thanks to its intelligence-driven digital workspace platform. Workspace ONE integrates access control, application management and multi-platform endpoint management into a single platform.
  • Vmware Vsphere 7 is a major new release, a reformulated ESXI version which makes a truly magical improvement in the work experience of vSphere administrators
  • VMware software-defined data center is the digital infrastructure on which to build your Virtualization, which will be granted with a powerful, flexible and state of the art protection for your IT foundation.

We can rest assured VMware will never stop amazing us!

In this guide, we will give you tips on how to write about topics like technology and innovation for blogs and digital content strategies.

Write for us Technology Guidelines:

One of the great advantages of being a copywriter is being able to vary the topics you write about. Routine is a word that doesn’t even pass close to our dictionary and every day we have different challenges.

However, a successful writer must prepare to be able to develop any topic, even those that he never imagined writing about.

And to help you in this endeavor, we created this post that will show you how to become a master at one of the most in-demand topics for a copywriter: technology and innovation! Read on and learn all it takes to be a tech-trained web writer.

Why learn to write about technology?

Have you noticed that almost everything we do today involves some kind of recent technology? Successful innovations are no longer just new versions of our notebooks and smartphones, they have flooded the most common tasks in our routine.

Digital transformation

This is a process that in the business world is known as digital transformation and consists of the migration by a company from the analog to the digital world, in a large number of processes and functions with the aim of increasing its competitiveness and performance.

That means that more and more companies are offering the most varied innovative products and services. There are companies that offer management software for other companies, applications that compare prices, appliances that cook themselves, among others.

New business

There are a lot of new businesses emerging in this context. After all, cutting edge technology is always a useful component in solving our problems. And with that, the companies also aim to sell these solutions.

Content Marketing

And to sell better, in the digital world, any company needs Content Marketing. The question is: who will help you create content that really delights your audience? The answer is very simple: you, copywriter.

That is why today we cannot leave such an important and fundamental topic as “technology” off the writing list for freelancers.

But, in the end, there is no use just being an enthusiast in the area! Every topic has its quirks, and before you’re a copywriting nerdyou need to understand what best practices are when it comes to writing about technology and innovation.

Search technology trends

To start, you should know what the main technological trends of the moment are. One of the coolest things about technology is that much of it revolves around the same tools.

For example, someone develops a new algorithm that can be used to create the most diverse software. It is your role as a copywriter to know everything (or almost everything) about this algorithm so that you are prepared when a client requests a text about it – for sure, at some point, they will!

Next, we will look at the top trends that are always making the rounds on tech blogs!

write for us tech

Big data

At all times we are entering new data on the network and we are not talking only about personal data. In addition to these, there is also navigation data, preferences of the websites we visit, products we search, etc.

This large amount of information, if stored and systematically analyzed, can lead to the creation of incredible products and services. This is exactly what Big Data is all about.

Handling so much data requires a lot of memory from the used equipment, intense processing skills, and challenging code. After all, creating a self-learning computer or a “self-driving” car is not possible, yet, for simple systems.

Therefore, the analysis of all this data is a way to create standards and generate value for companies around the world that want to better understand how consumers behave.

Internet of things

IoT ( Internet of Things ) is the technology that connects machines with machines, making them talk to each other and make decisions that make our routine simpler.

It is the connection of objects through the Internet, either your phone connected to your refrigerator or your GPS talking to the electronic door of your house to notify you that you are arriving.

The possibilities are endless and the forecast is that by the end of this decade we will have more than 200 million different products interacting with the web. That is, we are more than when it comes to studying about IoT!

Bitcoin

Bitcoin was the first fully digital currency to gain popularity, and its market has been growing larger in recent years. Many buy bitcoins to invest since, when it was created, the unit of bitcoin cost less than the US $ 1 and in 2016 it had already risen to the US $ 900. Its updated value is approximately US $ 10,000.

Similar to money printing, bitcoin is mined (in an allusion to gold mining) by means of a decentralized network of computers.

In addition to being the most profitable investment for two consecutive years – 2015 and 2016 – it has been considered an interesting alternative to the currency as we know it. Whether it’s for or against, a tech writer needs to know about this!

Cloud Computing

Cloud computing or cloud computing is no longer a new trend, but a reality of the present. Today, more and more companies are strengthening their virtual infrastructures by understanding the millions of advantages that this model provides.

We also already use cloud computing when saving a google drive, dropbox or another file. That is why you should be vigilant because more news in the “world of the cloud” will continue to emerge in the coming years.

Wearables

Have you heard of smartwatches that do much more than show us the time and even allow us to monitor our heart rate? They are just one example of wearables, which is the technology applied to the items we wear.

Big companies like Apple, Samsung, Motorola, and Huawei have invested in such launches.

Although the prices are not yet so attractive, it is very likely that wearable computing will gradually gain space in our daily lives. Therefore, this is one of the trends you should be aware of!

Common media terms

The world of technology is full of words and terms specific to the medium. Those who are used to it naturally recognize the meaning of the terms. But if you are just entering the technological world, it may be that you are not so familiar, that is why we have separated some of the most common terms in the world of technology so that you can create your text with a language familiar to the buyer persona. Continue reading!

  • Bots : they are robots that work generating automatic responses to all kinds of questions asked by the user.
  • Data center : environment designed to house servers and other components such as storage systems and network assets.
  • Devops : methodology to develop software that seeks to maximize the results of the IT team.
  • ERP : Enterprise Resource Planning in English, (translated Business Resource Planning) is a business management system used in almost all businesses in the world.
  • Scalability : ability of a structure or system to grow and meet your increased demands without losing the quality of service.
  • Firewall : a set of programs and hardware that prevents unauthorized people from accessing your network.
  • Gateway : a computer connecting two or more networks that use different means of communication.
  • ITIL : Information Technology Infrastructure Library (translated) Information Technology Infrastructure Library . It is a set of information on best practices for managing IT services.
  • Peer-to-peer (P2P): meaning peer-to-peer, it is a network architecture where each of the linked points (also known as nodes) work simultaneously as a client and as a server, as in the case of torrents.
  • SaaS : means software as service is a way of marketing a software in which the provider is responsible for the entire structure required for the availability of the system.
  • VPN : Virtual Private Network in English , is a private communication network.

Common reader profiles

As we all know, the buyer persona is essential for advertising writing. It is here we want to reach. Consequently, it is necessary to know her, understand how she behaves, and what is her favorite language. Without it, we run the risk of writing something that won’t educate her or move her up the sales funnel.

Therefore, we separate the profile of the main buyer personas when the subject of the text is Technology. Check them out below and learn how to create lovely text:

CIO

The Chief Information Officer is the Director of Information Technology of a company. He is the one who makes the organization’s technology investment decisions and his responsibility is to reduce costs and increase efficiency.

The CIO, in general, is over 40 years old and requires a more professional tone in the texts he reads.

Despite the technical knowledge that he has, his work routine is management. The texts that attract him the most are those that focus on explaining the benefits and advantages that technology can bring to projects, businesses and investments.

Geek

He’s kind of a nerd. It is that person who enjoys technology for pleasure, without necessarily working with it. Generally, their age group is between 20 and 35 years old and they have already completed – or are completing – their graduation.

They are super connected people and very linked to new technologies. They are not always professionals in the field, but they are certainly large consumers of innovative products and services

They enjoy testing, researching, and reading on the subject. You are always up-to-date on top technology innovations and how they can make your life easier. The language here is less formal and more personal.

IT manager

If the CIO has strategic competencies, the IT manager is a company’s tactical planner. They have greater contact with the technical part, organization, and management of operations, and systematic improvements.

Therefore, these managers must understand the way that new technologies work because it is a good way to suggest projects and justify the need for new investments. They are generally in tune with the world of technology and consume a lot of information on the internet.

However, their language is not as formal given the executive role of this position. On average, they are professionals under the age of 40, who like content that gives them arguments to bring a proposal to the board of directors.

Developers

The developer is a professional who executes, it is a more technical profile focused on building and shaping projects.

That is why these people prefer an informal text tone, almost their own language – they are very familiar with the technical terms that circulate through blogs in specific areas.

Developers are great users of technology, therefore it is a type of public extremely sensitive to the efficiency of an explanation.

For that reason, when writing for a developer, focus on creating value in the first few paragraphs and don’t waste time with accessory content.

conclusion

Tech companies are likely to have a strong online presence. Therefore, it is normal that in this branch, organizations have strategies. With the speed of innovation, it is difficult to find professional writers to satisfy the entire market.

Ghostwriters from technology and innovation companies are not very common. Consequently, the job supply in this niche is more selected and the earnings are higher than average!
