How to make the IT technical profile understand the difficulties of the business areas?

Technological developments have clearly demonstrated to companies that the IT sector can no longer be seen as just an operational problem-solving area. The market demands from organizations continuous improvement and investments directed to the sector that guarantee IT a relevant position in strategic decision-making. The reason is indisputable. It is IT that, thanks to its countless resources, allows companies to reduce operating costs; management of processes that optimize production; control of data protection systems. However, this observation raises an equally important question: how to make the technical staff, aware of their role, also understand the difficulties of the business areas?

In addition to valuing the job market, technological advances have brought the IT professional a series of challenges such as the development of new skills and greater engagement with business strategies. This more collaborative performance changes the technical profile of IT and imposes the alignment of different sectors - technical and business - so that, from this integration, assertive decision-making can arise, with the common objective of delivering value to customers and shareholders. For the specialist Randstad Technologies, IT professionals must have a strategic vision of the business not only to understand it, but to transform this knowledge into IT tools that contribute to obtaining good results.

The forecast is that, by 2020, companies will look to IT professionals for a combination of technical knowledge with attributes of proactivity, curiosity, organization and teamwork, preserving the resolute attitude of IT professionals to solve problems. . Only then will the technical profile, in addition to the essential mechanical skills of data interpretation and systems management, be able to understand the difficulties of the business areas and lead IT to overcome them.
