It comes as no surprise that most experts are predicting continued growth in cloud computing. Adoption has been rapid and widespread—PC World recently reported that 90% of businesses use cloud services to some degree—and it’s not slowing down. Which is why we’re so excited about the opportunities for IT professionals who have top-quality cloud training.
Help wanted for cloud-trained professionals
There’s great demand for professionals with current training and certifications to support cloud infrastructures and develop new applications. In their “Top 10 Strategic Technology Trends for 2015”, Gartner listed cloud computing stating that “both internal applications and external applications will be built on this new style” and IDC predicts that “cloud services will remain a hotbed of activity in 2015 with $118 billion in spending on the greater cloud ecosystem.”
Where does this leave you? IT professionals need sharp skills and ongoing training to thrive in this cloud-focused world. A survey of U.S. federal managers showed that only 10% of agencies have been able to migrate significant portions of IT to the cloud because of a lack of skilled staff. Many are hiring new employees to take on key cloud roles and investing in training to develop important skills.
