According to the latest research, businesses will be looking for mobile developers, web developers, and those with experience doing large-scale data analysis. Can&#8217;t afford to bring all of those skills in-house?

Rather than just a platform for deploying applications, I believe we\u2019ll see more PaaS offerings bundled with development platforms, creating something of a Development Platform as a Service (dPaaS).\u201d They\u2019ll give you the tools and the platform to build, deploy, and maintain all of your applications in the cloud.<\/p>\n<p><a onclick=\"_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Blog', 'Outbound Link', '20140117_HotITJobSkillsIn2014_ITStaff']); \" href=\"http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/howardbaldwin\/2014\/01\/14\/it-staff-too-much-supply-or-too-much-demand\/?ss=cio-network\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #1772af; font: normal bold 12pt\/1.2em Arial, Verdana, Helvetica;\">IT staff: Too much supply or too much demand?<\/span><\/a><br \/>\nIt\u2019s a confusing topic. One one side, I hear IT professionals complain that no one is hiring. On the other hand, I hear businesses complain that they can\u2019t find good IT skills these days. What\u2019s the real problem? Technology is evolving so rapidly, most businesses can\u2019t afford to constantly bring in new employees with modern skills. Instead, they need a way to bring modern skills to their current staff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every week, I share the most interesting and useful tech articles that I\u2019ve found over the past week.
