2015 years ago Big data will add 4.4 million jobs worldwide

Beijing time October 23, Gartner researchers have reason to see a weak growth outlook, according to foreign media reports, after the latest round of financial earnings from Intel, IBM and other technology makers. But Peter Sondergaard, the Gartner research director, unexpectedly Sondegard a growth forecast at the Symposium/itxpo conference.

Gartner does not intend to make significant adjustments to global it growth expectations, and the latest forecasts remain below expectations. While Gartner forecasts that it revenue will be basically flat, employment expectations are not flat, at least in the Big data field.

Large data refers to the collection and analysis of data from any conceivable place. As companies find ways to turn data into revenue, big data will be an important engine for job creation. By 2015, big data is expected to add 4.4 million jobs globally, with 1.9 million more jobs in the United States.

With economic factors multiplied by this job data, Gartner predicts that every job opportunity created by big data will expand to create 3 jobs in areas outside the U.S. technology industry, meaning that big data can add 6 million more jobs to the US.

But Sondegard's predictions include an additional note: There is a dearth of skilled workers. Only One-third of the big data jobs can be filled in.

Sondegard said: "Now IT industry does not have enough talent resources, our talent training mechanism is not to force." ”

Northeast Georgia Tiyatien System's chief technology officer, Grifflau (Griff), says data analysis and it jobs are often difficult to fill. "In terms of health care, I can certainly see the demand for talent in the market," he said. "Griff's company has offered 15 jobs in the past 6 months, of which 6 jobs are related to data analysis, and some jobs require candidates to have some kind of it technology, such as network engineers."

Companies need to profit from their digital plans, which will spawn new jobs such as CIOs in the coming years. Gartner predicts that by 2015, 25% of corporate organisations will have the post of chief data officer.

Overall, Gartner expects it spending to rise to $3.7 trillion trillion over the next year, up 3.8% from this year. But that growth forecast is a moving target, mainly because of the uncertain economic situation.

How the uncertainty of economic development will affect companies is not from the IT field, but from McDonald's chief executive, Dunntompson (Don Thompson). "When the global economic crisis broke out in 2008, no one thought the environment would remain as uncertain and flexible as it is now," he said.

In addition, Gartner predicts that consumer demand for High-tech products will continue to grow. In 1980, consumers were spending less than 1% of their overall budget.
