Modern circumstances are changing the world significantly and influencing trends in different directions. The web development industry is no exception. How will this market change and what to expect soon?
Remote work
With the onset of the pandemic, many companies transferred their IT specialists to remote locations, since most of them do not require a permanent presence in the office to carry out their duties. An exception is made by employees serving work computers, networks, and servers, but their presence is necessary only in certain cases. Remote work will become habitual, and it will show the flexibility and progressiveness of the company, the ability to quickly reorganize under unforeseen circumstances.
Which IT areas will become in demand, and which will become unnecessary?
Now there is a kind of natural selection of the demand for IT areas. It is not just convenient or economical technologies that are becoming popular, but technologies without which an organization cannot survive in the current conditions are gaining importance:
-
communication for the direct solution of production problems;
-
secure processing of information in an untrusted environment;
-
control of access to documents, information systems, and company services.
The situation with outsource
Complete displacement is still very, very far away. The pandemic does not greatly affect this process. An in-house team can work great from home with proper management and control of processes and tasks. At the same time, the obvious advantages of in-house development will always compete with the temptation to use outsourcing.
Who is in demand on the market
Now, the most demanded are software developers. According to our research, the most popular programming languages today are JavaScript, HTML, R and SAS, Java, Python, C ++.
System administrators are also popular specialties: every third company is looking for these specialists to manage and administer systems. The top three most in-demand specialists are closed by experts in the analysis of data arrays (Data Scientist). Consultants and IT security specialists are less in demand.
The coronavirus pandemic has shown the role of digitalization in the economy and society. It is difficult to imagine the effective work of any sphere without information technology.
In general, there is a lot of work for IT specialists now. If something bad happens to a client’s business, then the client may not pay the bills. The crisis in this industry is coming with a shift in time, but at Technom, we really hope that we will all get used to this new reality and the work will continue.
