Demand soars for cloud specialists
New figures released today show that the demand for cloud computing specialists jumped by 233 percent in the first month of 2010.
Resource On Demand, a ‘cloud recruitment’ firm, has logged a record number of enquiries for salesforce.com and SaaS (Software as a Service) specialists, jumping from three to 10 enquires per week. This, it says, is consistent with anecdotal evidence that shows increasing numbers of organisations placing their reliance in the cloud.
Lee Durrant, MD of Resource On Demand, believes that demand for cloud computing countered the downturn: “Cloud computing is now more than a buzz word, organisations are seeing both economic and sound operational reasons to use cloud technology. This appealed to organisations during the recession, due to value for money paired with an increased level of performance, and continues to appeal to them in the post-recession market place.”
Resource on Demand says it began to see green shoots of recovery in the final quarter of 2009 and is now expanding to cope with the demand that they are facing.
