2020 was a very difficult financial year for a lot of businesses. To stem the transmission of the coronavirus, the US government imposed lockdowns, which forced people to stay home and a lot of establishments to close doors. In fact, 92% of small businesses had to reinvent themselves just to survive.
Technology is changing the way professional services firms (PSFs) operate. For example, many law firms are using Zoom to represent their clients in virtual court hearings. Some architectural and engineering firms are leveraging job management software to plan, organize, and assign their manpower and other resources to particular projects.
Be it in personal or professional contexts, self-sufficiency is valued. This is because people don’t have to wait on others to resolve their issues, and it usually costs less than paying someone to do it for them. When it comes to IT in particular, many startups do well by having tech-savvy members on their teams.
Today’s technology-driven world is demanding more than industry-specific expertise and years of business experience from professional services firms (PSFs) like yours. Streamlined workflows, effective cybersecurity, and agility have become the deciding factors for success for modern law firms, healthcare practices, financial services providers, and PSFs across industries.
The cloud is a no-brainer for business owners who are looking to cut costs, increase efficiency, and enable workforce mobility. However, choosing the right cloud solution could be tricky because businesses have varying needs and cloud services are not all built the same.
2020 is here, and the IT job market will continue to boom in the new year as computer and digital-related jobs become more important than ever before. According to LinkedIn’s 2020 Emerging Jobs Report, the number of artificial intelligence (AI) and data science roles continues to increase across nearly every industry.
