In 2020, professional and technical knowledge will no longer be the only area of ​​the IT sector. The company / organization to understand how employees should use IT technology to their work. However, scientists and IT experts say the future, the most popular of IT related technologies, including: mining massive data protection system against security threats and increasingly complex management of the new system of risk and how to use technology to improve productivity. Although the IT knowledge will become more popular, but employers will be more popular as 5-specific skills.

1. Data Analysis

According to market researcher IDC estimates that by 2020 the amount of data generated globally each year to reach 35ZB, which is 3,500,000,000,000,000 GB. (Note: 1 ZB = 1,048,576 PB; 1 PB = 1,048,576 GB; this data is very abstract.) IDC's John Gantz, chief researcher, said: "Using an ordinary DVD pile up one by one, the two reactors can be stacked from the Earth to the Moon. "

With such huge data, which requires not only IT professionals have the ability to analyze massive amounts of data, and the business sector and to confirm what data is available, where to obtain these useful data.

These practitioners will also be mixed with IT expertise and knowledge of business processes and operations background. IT research firm Foote Partners Manpower's chairman and CEO David Foote said: "They are people who understand customer needs, and know how to put information into a profitable one. If you have more understanding of the data that 'supply chain' employee, your earnings are more. "

2. Risk Management

Futurist David Pearce Snyder said: "Risk management skills in high demand will continue to 2020, especially when (all) business, and increasingly become more of a very close relationship between IT. For example, British Petroleum in Mexico some time ago Bay oil spill in the IT technology involved, as well as Toyota's deal with 'accelerating the door' event. "(Editor's note: Toyota car black box reader recognize the existence of software defects.)

Snyder added: "When we are in the era of rapid innovation (this trend will continue into 2020), we will run into unexpected legal problems; when we would like to point out the complex world of innovation, very willing to be necessary to touch to this or that problem. "(So) Enterprise risk management will seek to have the ability to have IT professionals to predict and respond to challenges.
3. Robotics

The future, according to consulting experts in Washington, said Joseph Coates, 2020, robots will "take over" more. Therefore, IT professionals with robot technology will not face any food.

Coates said: "We can humanoid robots as equipment, but we need to be extended to all automated equipment." Robotics work include: research and development, maintenance and repair. Vertical market experts will explore the use of related technologies. For example: Some robot experts may focus on health care facilities, rehabilitation centers and research and development, some experts are willing to invent devices for people with disabilities or learning tool for children invented.

4. Information Security

According to the report of PricewaterhouseCoopers: because we spent time online, more and more face to face interaction will be less and less, more personal information will be posted online, you can easily pretend to be someone a lot of new technology, so in 2020 years ago, authentication user identity and privacy will become a major challenge. Remote workers will also become the main labor force, which will bring more information security risks.

Editor's Note: "remote workers," also called "home workers", that is, through the network that can work at home staff.

Foote explained: "We are in a dangerous environment, although many employees are proficient in technology, but they do not understand information security is the most important." Foote predict this situation had improved in 2020 because many information security companies to invest more, including data centers, network access and remote access.

5. Network

Snyder response to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicted that the "network systems and data communications management in 2020 will remain the top priority, but because many companies will find ways to avoid increasing staff, so they how to increase capacity and efficiency consulting."

"If you have already laid off as far as possible, then I can only improve the productivity of the. It should be someone to tell us how to make better use of existing network technology."
