Survey shows 40 per cent of Thai IT personnel interested in Big Data
An IMC Institute study of Thai IT personnel skills showed that 40 per cent of those surveyed understood Big Data technology and had started using it.
Thanachart Numnonda, director of IMC institute, said the survey of Thai IT personnel skills looked at more than 250 samples. The survey reported that more Thai people were ready for Big Data. While Blockchain is still a new issue for Thai IT personnel, a recent survey by IMC found that Thai IT people were more technologically savvy.
“We randomised more than 250 samples and found that Thai IT personnel were more interested in Big Data, but new technology still needs to develop further.”
The survey found that over 40 per cent of respondents understood and had started using Big Data technology. Approximately 56 per cent said they used Cloud Computing, around 40 per cent used Apache Hadoop, and 30 per cent used NoSQL.
The survey concluded that Thai IT personnel had gained much more experience in using cloud computing technology and Big Data. Java and PHP languages are the most popular. However, considering new technologies like Spark, Microservices, Container or DevOp, which are widely used in foreign countries, Thai IT personnel have little experience in those areas. The survey said they urgently needed focused development in these areas and also, they lack international certificates that will make them more acceptable.
