IT Management Career Options!



   Software Implementation Analyst

Software implementation analysts assist in the planning and deployment of new software applications or upgrades within a company. This position bridges the gap between the roles of developer and IT specialist. Due to their in-depth knowledge of software and programming, software implementation analysts are able to address software interoperations with existing software (the IT aspect) and perform customization or implementation work (the developer aspect). This position involves an equal amount of testing software platforms, creating documentation for employee use and troubleshooting user’s integration issues. You will need to possess a strong understanding of software and have the ability to explain complex terms succinctly to non-technical audiences.
.Net Developer

These enterprise-focused programmers create and perform maintenance on desktop and web-based business programs. .Net developers are also heavily involved in testing and quality assurance rather than just programming. These tech-savvy individuals are continually involved in improving and upgrading current applications for ongoing service businesses (like Software as a Service, or SaaS). The industry of software programming and testing is always evolving, so these individuals will need to continually learn new ways to improve application processes and usability to reflect changing trends. In this line of work, you will need a strong background with .Net programming as well as strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
Java Developer

This profession involves one of the most omnipresent software technologies in the world. The flexibility of Java language allows developers to create applications for a wide range of media geared toward desktop, server-side, mobile or internet end users. Java developers serve a valuable role in enterprise systems and applications and rank among the industry’s most coveted programmers (next to Oracle specialists). For this career you will need to focus extensively on Java programming, both during your education and professionally.
Project Manager

An issue many companies encounter is the need to successfully complete projects on time and under budget. There is a noticeable communication barrier between business executives and IT professionals, which creates issues in reasonably gauging timelines for software production. Project managers serve as the link between these two groups. Due to their highly technical background and understanding of business, they are able to outline process timelines, identify best practices and manage the pipeline.
Keeping projects on track is the main responsibility of these professionals, and to do that the IT team needs to be free of external distractions. Project managers liaise between the IT department and the company to set realistic expectations regarding projects while still delivering the necessary solutions in a timely fashion. To become a project manager, you will need strong time-management and planning skills and the ability to communicate with both tech-savvy and business audiences.
