Remote working

The biggest change is that all employees needed to work from home. Due to the enormous increase of remote working many IT organisations profited from this change. For example, Microsoft Teams doubled in users within a month.

Security

Due to working online the importance of security increased even more. When working online, a lot of confidential data and other information is being exchanged via a direct or shared connection. Both have to be secured in the best possible way, in order to protect business-critical and personal data. This is where the IT professionals come in. Because of the urgency to improve security, companies are searching for Security and Data Specialists to secure their data.

Jobs

But not only security specialists are in high demand. As a business there is a huge advantage if you offer products to be used online, such as online telecommunications applications. Therefore there is a noticeable rising demand for Application Programmers, Data Specialists, IT Product Owners & IT Product Managers in the market.
