Companies are looking to hire and retain workers who are skilled in fields such as mobility, cloud computing, software development, and big data. A new Hackett Group report identifies Global 1000 companies' key priorities for the year, while Bluewolf's 2012 IT Salary Guide provides an in-depth look at information technology (IT) salaries and hiring trends.
Company executives have identified the need to grow their emerging market presence as one of the most important priorities for 2012, the Hackett report notes. "Getting the right information to permit quick action can only be accomplished when mechanisms are in place to gather high-quality data, conduct rigorous analysis, and make decisions with confidence," the report says. "IT and other support functions overwhelmingly recognize this fact and are focusing their technology priorities for 2012 around the themes of improving the foundation of unified data (to create 'one source of truth') and being able to provide analysis and access to those findings."
Bluewolf also identified several skills that are in high demand, including proficiency with Eloqua, Marketo, Salesforce, and Google Apps. Companies are also looking for developers that know JavaScript and user interface design, according to Bluewolf.
