CompTIA Previews Three Upcoming Trends in 2016 Industry Outlook
Before the publication of its annual report to the outlook for the IT industry, CompTIA offers channel partners with an overview of some of the trends we can expect to see in the next year.
Among the most popular trends for this year, CompTIA is predicting an increase in the importance of the cloud, the new compensation models for channel partners focused on the cloud and a focus on providing the best experience for business customers start to finish.
First, CompTIA predicted that cloud computing will continue its transformation of an important new technology to a critical resource for IT companies. This is bound to lead to big changes for vendors and customers cloud services that rely on the cloud to run their businesses.
"While the cloud does not become a very pure, like electricity product will be so prevalent in computer architecture to specifically target cloud will give way to the general planning of the solution," said Seth Robinson, director of technology analysis CompTIA, said in a statement.
CompTIA also predicted that the increase in cloud computing will have a profound impact on the financial relationship between technology providers and distribution partners. The Company believes that the growing importance of the cloud will force many technology vendors to reassess their remuneration models and keep members interested in his services, according to Carolyn April, CompTIA senior director of industry analysis.
Finally, CompTIA hopes that we will see a new momentum for technology suppliers to provide the best experience from start to finish for their business users business. While some of these efforts will be driven by technology providers themselves, others will be as a result of customer demand for more help, said Tim Herbert, senior vice president of research and market intelligence CompTIA.

Techtonic Partners With CompTIA’s Foundation
Techtonic partners with CompTIA’s foundation to expand tech job opportunities
Tectonics Academy, a division of Tecktonik Group, based in Boulder, has been associated with the creation of the IT Futures Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the information technology trade association CompTIA, to provide training and learning development software for entry level that otherwise can not access it.
The 13-year-old tectonic Group has been on this mission for about a year and a half, said Heather Terenzio, its co-founder and CEO, "but this partnership will help us develop."
Collaboration with the foundation based in Downers Grove, Illinois, will enable both groups to reach more people and businesses throughout the country. Creating IT Futures traditionally focuses on the sector of equipment and services in the IT field and now be able to expand their training programs and career in the field of software development.
"Everyone talks of more women and minorities in technology, but nobody did much about it," said Terenzio. "There are a lot of universities, community colleges and training camps around, but unless you had $ 40,000 to enter one would be very unrealistic. We are committed to recruiting people who never had much of a shot."
Instead of charging them to the formation, tectonic pay.
"Our training program is six months, and we pay people to be on it," said Terenzio. "They start at $ 15 per hour. Side programming is watched by side with experienced developers who explain what they do as they do. The learning program is six months, and at the end of six months they invite to be full-time employees and pay them the market rate for software developers with experience. About 80 percent of our students join us. "
Factory tectonic 1900 Folsom St. in Boulder even includes a full kitchen equipment to provide healthy meals for their 20 employees, he said, half of which they are part of the learning program.
"We are very pleased to partner with the Creating IT Futures Foundation because they share our passion for providing marginalized populations, young adults and veterans with new, prosperous career opportunities in the industry's boom open technology," said Terenzio. "When a company decides to work with tectonic Group myriad of other options for outsourcing, they know they're getting quality commercial quality products while helping to enter the field of ancient technology veterans and youth opportunity."
"More than 1 million IT jobs are open in the US, with 60 percent of jobs in the service / hardware industry and the other 40 percent in software development," he said Charles Eaton, CEO of its eventual creation. "Our foundation focuses primarily on the training facilities and hardware side staffing and technology of IT jobs, and it is exciting to work with tectonics, software development and coaching staff. Together we can unite our efforts and expand the workforce of technology across the spectrum of IT professions. "
Terenzio said creating IT Futures "application will pre-workout for us -.. We are working languages, soft skills will work together in grants from the Ministry of Labour and other sources to build this in a much bigger way they have 60,000 members, so the more work you have, the more people can rent.
"Both work outside India, where we could keep these jobs here," he said. "We can get other companies to buy in our mission and what we're trying to do, and if you need more services that can come to us -. If we can change life"

Business Cybersecurity Readiness is a Tale of Two Employee Groups, CompTIA Asserts
Organizations seeking to strengthen their defenses against threats to cyber security must begin with two groups of employees, CompTIA speaker, the association of the IT industry, advised during a cybersecurity panel presentation on Tuesday.
"Everyone in your organization has a role to play," said Randi Parker, director, public policy and public awareness, CompTIA. "This includes having employees, which may or may not have a security role in employment or IT, and employees want."
Parker's statements came during a panel organized by Congressman cybersecurity. Bill Foster (D-Ill.) And organized by ByteGrid.
Search by CompTIA and other organizations consistently show that human error is the main contributor to security breaches, still under study, commissioned in October 2015 CompTIA-1,200 full-time workers in the US It found that 45 percent did not receive any training in cyber security at work.
"Early investment in employee training can really mitigate many of the security problems facing companies," Parker said.
Employees need that organizations are needed to fill the jobs estimated 230,000-plus cybersecurity currently open in the country.
"Open jobs that are not filled to create a greater exposure to the risks that are out there," Parker said. "Having a complete solid work hand means you will have more people to reinforce the lines of defense. We must do more to push people in this area."
Also they are participating in the panel of cybersecurity representatives of the Federal Trade Commission, KCT Credit Union, DHS and Waubonsee Community College in the United States.

New CompTIA Study Offers Insight into How Millennials May Change the Workplace
More blur the boundaries between personal and professional life, greater emphasis on the participation of media and strong views about technology are some of the trends that could shape the workplace of the future, a new Research published this week by CompTIA, the association of the IT industry suggests.
Managing multigenerational work force examines how generational issues are changing the dynamics of the workforce now and in the future.
"As baby boomers and Generation X before them, Millennium has strong preferences and priorities on what they think the workplace should look like," said Seth Robinson, Director, Analysis Technology, CompTIA.
"It will be interesting to see if these preferences are becoming the norm as more students enter management positions, or whether students are changing their views because they take more responsibilities to customers, communities, employees and shareholders."
The flexibility of the workplace
Younger workers who have grown up in an era where flexibility is the norm hope to expand their ways of working. Boomers want to work for companies that offer telecommuting option, even if it means accepting lower wages. Companies that do not offer telecommuting option is considered obsolete.
In all age groups, most workers want an agreement that includes a couple of days at the office and a couple of days at home, with a greater number of days in the office. Collaboration, connection and creativity that results from the face to face interaction with colleagues is still important for employees, regardless of age.
Social Media
Employees between 20 and 30 years are much more likely to use social networks like Facebook, for work purposes - three in 10 in each age group. In contrast, less than 20 percent of boomers use Facebook for business and 25 percent do not use Facebook at all, for work or for personal use.
The blurring of boundaries between work and personal life - and the information shared through social media channels - is a cause of concern for business and recognized as a potential problem employees. Most workers in all age groups (64 percent) believe that the media, the harmful effects of labor productivity.
"Organizations should seriously consider building a policy regarding social networks to define appropriate behaviors and minimize the risk of sharing sensitive data," Robinson said.
This may be difficult in the workplace of the future, however. Younger workers are more connection between social networks and their work and feel that their social media skills are an important part of the skill set they bring to their work.
Tech State
Three quarters of Boomers say they use technology in a company is a factor in employment decisions, compared with just over half of the baby boomers.
"The data also suggest that younger workers are more likely to think that your employer is pushing the envelope of technology, suggesting that most of what is offered is taken," said Anna Matthai, Manager, Research and market intelligence, CompTIA. "As the world becomes increasingly digital, the companies with the best technology will be in the best position to compete and recruit younger workers."
When it comes to your comfort level and ability to use technology 70 percent of Millennials label themselves as "advanced" or "higher level". For Generation X workers, the figure is 55 percent and Boomers, 30 percent.
Email is still the most common form of communication in the workplace, but new forms of communication such as Skype, text messaging and instant claim a larger footprint, especially among workers under 50.
When problems arise technological support in the workplace they are more likely to turn to instant messaging, video chat and mobile applications used for solving younger workers. They are also open to using social media for IT support related to maintenance, repair and troubleshooting of systems and applications.
CompTIA management multigenerational workforce study is based on two separate online surveys - the first 700 professionals; second, 1,010 adolescents and young adults aged between 13 and 24. The two surveys were conducted in September 2015. The full report is available from the simple registration

CompTIA's refreshed exam aims to close skills gap in data centres
CompTIA has refreshed its CompTIA Server+ certification exam with a greater emphasis on security, storage and virtualisation.
The update comes as CompTIA’s international workforce Study 2015 found that server and data centre management skills were one of the top five areas where businesses are looking to minimise skills gaps among IT staff members.
For example, four in ten businesses surveyed cited the need to close gaps in server and data skills, which the company says its new certification will help to combat.
The IT industry’s trade association certification exam is internationally recognised that validates foundation level skills and knowledge in server technologies.
The latest version of the exam (SK0-004) covers a broad range of skills that are related to how server and data storage administration works in the IT environment.
For example, cloud storage, security, scalability, hardware, software, storage, best practices and disaster recovery to name a few are all areas covered in the new exam.
Jason Eckert, dean of technology at triOS College Business Technology Healthcare, said via CompTIA's certification website: “We feel very strongly about certification as a means to help students feel confident in their skills.”
Another separate survey of IT professionals found that approximately three in 10 plan to pursue training and certification in server skills.
It’s no question that the skills gap is effecting many businesses in the IT industry, and CompTIA have been trying to combat this
For example, Estelle Johannes, UK channel community director for CompTIA, previously told PCR that more needs to be done in education to give kids and parents the knowledge they need about career paths.
In addition, CompTIA is also bringing its US ‘Dream IT’ initiative to the UK, to help encourage more women into a career within the IT industry.
Now that the trade body has revamped its exam to help close the skills gap, maybe we will start to see more young people coming into the IT industry with the necessary skills.

CompTIA: IT Professionals Face New Challenges as Organizations Become More Digital
Information technology jobs are not as simple or easy as it used to be with the evolution of new technologies.
IT professionals are more burdened in their job responsibilities because technology digitizes more according to a recent report by the IT industry association CompTIA time.
IT professionals are forced to reassess their duties and responsibilities as a greater variety of options emerging technologies in organizations. The CompTIA report also indicates that the new technologies of cloud computing and mobile companies are leading this change.
IT teams find that the construction and organization of business systems such as data storage, mobile devices and applications have become more complex.
"This is true both at the rear end of the IT architecture, where applications crunch and the number of databases, and the front end, where users interact with the rear end and perform daily operations are housed," says Seth Robinson, senior director of CompTIA and analysis technology. "Cloud computing and mobile devices have transformed the two, with the cloud changing the way mobile devices are built and systems to drive new experiences and workflows."
Of all the new challenges IT professionals face modern technology, digital data and cybersecurity are considered the most problematic. In the past, these areas were an important part of IT operations, but recently their importance has been magnified because organizations adopting the new cloud and other moving parts.
"New threats have emerged as a result of the cloud and mobility, so understanding these threats is a priority for the IT team, as well as traditional threats remain effective," Robinson said. "It's not easy."
Changes Driven Cloud
The most notable change in the IT function caused by cloud computing solutions is the way storage is managed. Cloud solutions, such as databases and analytical services allow companies to create long-range plans that go beyond data storage easily.
"Backup and disaster recovery is a good example of a process that has been re-imagined, especially for companies in the SME segment that previously had little activity in this area," Robinson said.
Sixty-one percent of IT professionals surveyed by CompTIA said the most important for the management of back-end architecture challenge is to keep costs down. Although many companies have found that the cloud economically neutral, there is always an expectation among customers for a lower price.
IT professionals have noted that other challenges with the complexity of back-end systems involved in the treatment of several models such as choosing the right model. Research also shows that CompTIA IT solutions and services and data security are two areas in which a small number of MSF have well-developed skills.

because of these certificates and the income generated in the non-profit
organization that can afford to give back to the IT community.
Take, for example, ChannelCon. This is a multi-day event that is 100 percent unfiltered and uneducated to the IT channel. It's great, too, with items that fit the biggest problems facing the canal.

Technology is not the biggest security problem: CompTIA
Technology is not the biggest security problem: CompTIA:
There is a misconception that technology represents the greatest
security risk for companies, but it is only part of the problem,
according to CompTIA.
The association of the industry, said companies often leave them vulnerable to violations of information, despite the technology, but said there are ways to reduce risk.
CompTIA member communities vice president Jim Hamilton said an area where businesses are leaving themselves vulnerable due to lack of security policies.
He said then that all firms must have strong security policies across the enterprise, in reality, many companies do not implement policies after a violation occurs.
"Awareness creates action, which is very valuable to strengthen security. Companies should use strategies to raise awareness through systematic implementation updating and communicating, rather than wait for the breach of cyber security," he said.
According to Hamilton, the implementation of strict policies design can be difficult to reconcile with the ease of use and practicality especially since many employees use their own devices and applications at work, which can make the entire IT landscape more difficult handle.
"As organizations adopt cloud solutions and mobile technology, extended the security perimeter, creating new considerations. And, with the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) there are many devices built without the security of a system computer company, "he said.
n addition, Hamilton said companies must ensure that their security systems and keep policies as technology changes rapidly.
"If you only do a security audit every five years, it will become obsolete very quickly. Companies also need to be more proactive about testing their resilience in an increasingly complex environment. People take risks save time and money, but if something could lose a lot more than keep happening, "he said.
Hamilton also addressed the need for companies to make employees part of the solution.
"Human error is often the cause of problems with data security due to negligence, breach of policies and the lack of catch up on new threats. Obviously, more training is needed for employees. Staff are totally certified by the nature but security guards must now be a concern for everyone, and training should follow suit, "he added
