Market Update

The cloud has dominated IT architecture for the past

several years and that trend continues in 2017. This

represents a significant opportunity for businesses

and a wake-up call for any professionals who are not

yet familiar with modern tools of the trade: expertise

in this area is now a must-have.

While many organisations have become more familiar

with overall IT needs and don’t require the merits of

IT architecture explained to them in theory, many still

lack a robust understanding of what “cloud” actually

means, both in theory and on a specific level for their

business. Architecture professionals experienced

with the ability to not only create high-level plans but

to articulate the impact of those plans are in high

demand.

More specifically, employers are continually searching

for professionals with the ability to work in major

cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure and GCP. This

must be combined with the niche and general skills

needed across all IT sectors such as DevOps, big

data, an understanding of web and mobile practice,

and the ability to work in agile teams.

Conversely, professionals whose key experience lies

with legacy technology such as BizTalk, web forms,

waterfall-based development and more high-level

“enterprise architecture” will see their skills in less and

less demand over the next several years.

This is highlighted by the survey results: 58% of

respondents said cloud computing will be the “most

important” skills needed over the next year and 36%

say their next skill to learn will be in cloud tech. The

professionals in most demand for those projects will

be those with experience in cloud services, service

models, Salesforce, architecture and design.

Some businesses may find it difficult to locate

adequate talent. Remaining flexible for overseas-

based workers is critical, along with any flexible work

options that could attract job seekers with the right

skills. In fact, flexible working was cited as the most

important option provided by employers in the survey.

While there is always a challenge in upskilling –

44% of respondents say their hardest challenge

will be developing new skills – those who do so will

be rewarded. Many high-level architecture digital

transformations are occurring across a range of

industries including financial institutions, utility

businesses, education and the consulting sectors.

Gaining critical experience in these fields will be

crucial for any employees looking to advance their

careers.

Alongside cloud skills, more IT architects are in

demand for their hands-on and pragmatic approach

to solving problems. By keeping their skills and

certifications up to date, professionals looking for

work in architecture settings will be more successful.
