The Data Explosion

Data Growth has continued to explode over the last year with a new report claiming a worldwide rise of 62%.  With so much information streaming into and out of organizations from call centers, customer Internet forms, point-of-sale contact information, Web-based applications and other customer information systems, data quality and integrity play an important part in every company’s data warehousing efforts.

With an increased focus on Data, we are seeing a huge increase in demand for skilled Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence professionals.  Common roles include Data Warehouse Support, Business Objects Consultants, Business Intelligence Developers and Data Warehouse consultants.  Many companies are formalizing their Information and Data Management strategies and assessing current systems support of information needs.  As a result, people with significant knowledge of Data Warehouse concepts are in high demand along with those who have experience of managing Data Intensive initiatives.

The security industry is also set for a busy time as a result of the spotlight on data and information.  It is predicted that by 2020 the amount of files needing higher levels of security would be 50% of the total, up from an estimated 30% this year.

Those in the Cloud Computing business will be happy with these findings as this report also predicts that a third of all data will be residing in the cloud by 2020.
