IT 'will drive economic growth'

Information and communications technologies (ICT) will help a new 'intelligent' economy emerge from the economic slowdown, it has been predicted.

Research consultancy IDC told IT job applicants that the ICT industry will play a significant role in helping the global economy in recovering from the worst downturn of more than 50 years.

'ICT developments in cloud computing, software as a service, ubiquitous mobility, and Web 2.0 are fundamentally transforming the way enterprises do business,' the group explained.

Furthermore, IDC predicted that companies will begin to realise the importance of deploying technology to boost efficiency, facilitate growth and safeguard against future crises.

John Gantz, IDC chief research officer and senior vice president, added that firms which start to adopt new technologies in the early stages of the recession will develop a competitive edge over their rivals.

Recently, recruitment expert Jamie Bowler claimed there will be an increase in demand for IT jobs in the coming months, as confidence rises in the UK's employment market.
