IT is More about Integration Less about Tech Skills




Information Technology (IT) industry is growing by leaps and bounds. We have witnessed a tremendous growth in IT from connected computers to advent of Internet and wireless computing. Web has changed our world and it is interesting to see a huge shift in technology. Working in IT is becoming more about integrating than applying technical skills.

Earlier it was considered that developers should be competent enough to develop exceptional web applications. Now, IT companies are appointing people who are expert at integrating the best available modules to develop excellent web applications. Along with it, ingeniously written code works as “magnet” that can thoroughly control the libraries and other external services. This exponential growth has lessened up the total development time. Initially where it would take years or months has now reduced to weeks and days to develop from scratch.

Computing has grown in recent years. We have seen immense growth from the shared libraries to software development toolkits. We have recently moved from the days where we had to spend a lot of money to buy proprietary libraries and APIs. Now when it comes to software development through internet, anyone who has an internet connection can get access to loads of freely available open-source development environments.  Web offers tons of free or low-cost features from cloud-based storage to lots of free applications. Each of these features and applications influences the low-cost web development solutions. It further leads to the development of innovative and noble web solutions.

Integration will lead to a new shift in IT industry
For IT industry this integration may bring tremendous changes. IT heads can take advantage of this. It will help their staff to manage the evolution of latest tools and libraries to develop exceptional web solutions. You need to train your staff to obtain new skills, better performance and constant monitoring approaches. Likewise this integration will help IT leaders to develop and deliver large-scale projects at low cost and within deadlines. Their long-term relationships with their vendors may end up and revolutionized to a new relationship with big players such as Apple and Amazon.
 
The integration of libraries, tools and applications will help developers who were earlier struggling to develop robust web solutions. This new shift will bring incredibly innovative outcomes and gradually this will rejuvenate the IT industry. The cutting edge tools are no longer limited to big players with high budgets. Everything is available at affordable prices or almost free. All you need to do is just find out the most compatible tools and libraries that you can integrate with your code to develop hefty web solutions.
