The Metamorphosis of IT: The Top Computer
Certifications Of 2011
By:

The
last two years have been eventful for big house certification companies such as
Microsoft, and as the greater need for practical and valid qualifications has
arisen, they have seen a further increase in certification sales, which is to
continue throughout 2011. The Robert Half salary guide, announced in October
2010, is a guide that demonstrates ongoing technological business needs and
certification trends, which will give any business or individual a good idea of
2011's computer certification trends.
With a gigantic 64% of CIOs recognising that understaffing was slowing down the
process of technological improvement in the work place and 51% (The Robert Half
Salary Guide at http://www.roberthalftechnology.com/EmployerFreeResources)
finding their biggest challenge was to find skilled staff, it appears that the
average modern business require very able, capable and certified staff.
Before, we view the top possible certifications; we need an overview of the
areas that are to expand in the next year. 2011 will see a higher demand for IT
professionals in business services, health care and the oil and gas industries.
In America and Canada, these industries are set to expand, and so is the private
sector, whilst especially in the UK, the health care sector is to go under a
metamorphosis to run more efficiently. All of this expansion and change needs
then some adequate hands with IT certifications under their belts.
According to the RH salary guide areas that are to expand in IT include:
technical developers, technical analysists, consultancy, database
administrators, business analysist, IT auditor, data architect, web designers,
web developers, network and security based jobs. As you can see, most of the
posts becoming available are furthering the technological development of a
business, as well as maintaining systems for the future.
So bearing in mind this metamorphosis of IT for 2011, we are to see a number of
big house certifications in demand, including the popular MCSE (Microsoft
certified systems engineer), MCITP (Microsoft certified IT professional), MCTS
(Microsoft certified technology specialist), MCAD (Microsoft certified
applications developer) from Microsoft. These certifications from Microsoft
charter a great number of in demand skills, from the implementation of new
technologies to the maintenance. With an increase of security risks, it has also
become vital for companies to employ security savvy individuals, who have
qualifications, such as the CISSP (certified information systems security
professional) or a security administrator with the CCSA (check point certified
security administrator) and the Check point certified security expert (CCSE).
Cisco (CCNA), Linux (RHCE) and project management professional certifications (PMP)
have also been rankled highly as essential certifications for 2011.
