Here
are the top 3 hard skills companies need most in 2019
Cloud Computing
Blockchain
is a transparent and verifiable system which will change the way people think
about exchanging value and assets, enforcing contracts, and sharing data. The
technology is a shared, secure ledger of transactions distributed among a
network of computers, rather than resting with a single provider.
IoT
devices generate intense amount of data, putting immense pressure on the
internet infrastructure. This is where the role of Cloud Computing comes into
play. Cloud Computing assists in storing, processing, and transferring data in
the cloud instead of connected devices.
Artificial
Intelligence
Artificial
Intelligence is the broader concept of machines being able to carry out tasks
in a way that we would consider “smart”. And, Machine Learning is a current
application of AI based around the idea that we should really just be able to
give machines access to data and let them learn for themselves.
Analytical
Reasoning
Business
Analytical skills refer to the ability to collect and analyse information,
problem-solve, and make decisions. These strengths can help solve a company’s
problems and improve upon its overall productivity and success.
Data
Analytical skills when detecting patterns, brainstorming, observing,
interpreting data, integrating new information, theorizing, and making
decisions based on multiple factors and options available.
In
conclusion, the Gartner Hype Cycle should be used as a guide to remaining
relevant to industry driven technologies to pursue both personal and
professional advancements.
