OpsRamp recently released a report on how IT organizations are handling the massive gap in skills for moving to cloud-native technologies. In this SlideShare, we address these questions: ●What specific cloud skills are most in-demand? ● How long does it take to find qualified talent? ● How are IT leaders reskilling their existing team for a digitally enabled world? ● Which tools and service providers are helping IT organizations bridge the skills gap? This deck first appeared as a webinar. Watch the full webinar here: https://info.opsramp.com/cloud-skills-crisis

DON’T FOCUS ON THE BALL.
FOCUS ON WHERE IT’S HEADED.

3. Cloud Skills: It’s Not a Gap. It’s a Crisis
“More than two-thirds of business leaders
believe that if their company does not become
significantly digitalized by 2020, it will no
longer be competitive,"
- Brian Kopp, group vice president, Gartner
HR

4. The Survey Questions That Defined the Problem
● What specific cloud skills are most
in-demand?
● How long does it take to find qualified
talent?
● How are IT leaders reskilling their
existing team for a digitally enabled
world?
● Which tools and service providers are
helping IT organizations bridge the
skills gap?

5. Trend #1: Cloud Is Here in a Big Way
Bottom line?
60% of IT decision makers indicate that
a majority of their current applications
are being either built or run in the
cloud, from the smallest services to the
most mission-critical workloads.
According to Gartner, 80 percent of
employees do not have the skills
needed for their current and future roles.

6. Trend #2: It’s An All-Out War For Talent
Bottom line?
A majority of IT leaders indicate they're
"willing" or "very willing" to pay more
for skilled professionals.
97% of hiring managers confirm that their
organizations are either somewhat willing
(28%), willing (41%) or very willing (28%)
to pay competitively for skilled IT
professionals.

7. Trend #3: Companies Are Investing in Re-Education
Bottom line? Your existing workforce is an
asset.
Rather than just communicating skills
requirements, employees need to
understand how they can personally
grow by developing the skills the
organization needs.

From Every Great Crisis Comes An Opportunity
Don’t get desperate; get
strategic
● Cloud isn’t coming - it’s here
● Double-down on your current
workforce
● Process/technology can help
when people are in short
supply
