Insight News The skills gap has got everybody talking about developers but what does the future hold for hardware technicians? Addressing the skills gap is often focused on coding and computer programming, software is being prioritised over hardware, and it shouldn’t be. Rhetoric around skills and education has positioned the skills gap as a challenge facing the software coding and data analysis fields, with both areas expected to power the future startups of TechCity. https://www.certes.co.uk/blog/2016/10/the-skills-gap-has-got-everybody-talking-about-developersbut-what-does-the-future-hold-for-hardware-technicians
Smart data is changing the future of big data Effectively smart data is a method of filtering out valuable data from the other big data noise. This data can then be used by an enterprise to find business-critical solutions to host of problems. The benefits big data has brought are immense, but it is utilising this data where the real transformation takes place. “Big data is a good thing to have, but it is a blunt tool, which is lacking precision. Smart data cuts to the heart of the issue faster, allowing executives to peel back the layers of extraneous or distracting information and look directly at the important issues and make decisions based on true, real-life valuable data,” said Patrick Koeck, COO of Creamfinance (a thought leader in smart data). https://www.certes.co.uk/blog/2016/09/smart-data-is-changing-the-future-of-big-data
