<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure> BENGALURU: Cobol<\/a> and Java<\/a> would appear outdated in the era of artificial intelligence, but technology<\/a> services companies in India are hiring a significant number of people having expertise in these and similar older software<\/a> languages such as Mainframe, C++<\/a>, Sybase<\/a> and Fortran.

Globally, large enterprises and banks are struggling with technology shifts that require their applications built for desktops to be accessible on smartphones as well.

This is making them approach outsourcing vendors to stitch applications built on legacy
code<\/a> to newer applications written on HTML5, Google’s Android operating system and Apple’s iOS.

Also, according to recruitment consultants, honing skills in new technology areas such as machine learning, data analytics, AI and internet of things is difficult without a foundation in the older programming languages.

“All our clients are on a transformation journey. We are helping them optimise their core application, develop new capabilities to unlock potential in legacy systems, and help unleash digital for them.

All these segments require traditional IT skills like Cobol, Java or C++ in addition to the new skills,” said Chaitanya N Sreenivas, head of human resources at
IBM<\/a> India.

He does not consider these software languages as legacy skills yet.

“Globally, some of our large clients run on mainframes, and Cobol is not something we would say is a legacy skill. It is a skill we will continue to need,” Sreenivas said.

“However, (employees) will need to also continuously up-skill as our clients transform. Java is still core from a programming language perspective.”

While most companies in India are digitally transforming their business units, there is still a lot of demand for old skills, said Manish Gupta, senior director and general manager, Infrastructure Solutions Group, Dell EMC India. “We prefer candidates who have a mix of talent of old and newer skills because although there are requirements that include emerging technologies, older skills are still quite relevant.”

At a time when courses on data science and machine learning are seeing sweeping demand, the top five traditional skills required by tech services companies in large numbers are Java, Cobol, Sybase, C++, and Fortran.

“Digital enablement projects require full-stack professionals with awide spectrum of skills across the entire stack. From knowing mainstays like Java, ASP.NET or NodeJS on the server side, to AngularJS or ReactJS on the front...,” said Vinil Menon, chief technology officer, CitiusTech. “We are also seeing strong demand in a number of emerging areas such as cloud computing (Lift and Shift Models, Microsoft Azure, AWS), Big data (Spark, Storm, Hive), Containerization (Docker and Kubernetes), DevOps (Chef, Puppet, PowerShell).”

Even so, over the past year, India’s technology services industry registered nearly 55,000 job losses primarily as employees struggled to gain skills in new technologies, according to estimates by recruitment agencies. In fact, the top five
Indian IT<\/a> services companies, keep aside the multinational companies, are seeing faster growth in digital technology-based services with the share of revenue ranging between 26% and 28%. Kamal Karanth, founder of HR consulting firm Xpheno, believes a combination of old and new persists in the industry with 70% of the requirements for old skills. “While newer skills can give more colour to a resume, fundamental knowledge of older skills is almost mandatory,” said Karanth.

Rituparna Chakraborty, president of Indian Staffing Federation, sees a cultural shift across companies that is making non-cognitive skills important alongside a combination of old and new technology skill-sets.

“What we look in candidates today is adaptability, flexibility and the ability to learn. Being a team-player is as important today as a strong technology background,” said Chakraborty, also a cofounder of staffing firm Teamlease.

班加罗尔:CobolJava会出现过时的人工智能的时代,但技术服务公司在印度雇佣大量的人在这些专业知识和类似的老软件语言如主机,c++,赛贝斯公司和Fortran。

全球大型企业和银行正艰难应对技术变化,需要访问他们的应用程序桌面智能手机。

这是使他们的方法外包供应商把应用程序建立在遗留代码在HTML5新编写的应用程序,谷歌的Android操作系统和苹果的iOS。

根据招聘顾问,珩磨技能在新技术领域如机器学习、数据分析、人工智能和物联网是困难没有地基的年长的编程语言。

“我们所有的客户都是在变换的旅程。我们正在帮助他们优化核心应用程序,开发新的功能解锁遗留系统的潜力,并帮助释放数字。

所有这些部分需要传统IT技能像Cobol、Java或c++除了新技能,“Chaitanya N Sreenivas说,人力资源主管IBM印度。

他不认为这些软件语言遗产技能。

“在全球范围内,我们的一些大客户在主机上运行,和Cobol不是我们想说的是一个遗留的技能。它是一种技能,我们将继续需要,”Sreenivas说。

“然而,(员工)需要也能够为我们的客户不断变换。Java从编程语言的角度仍然是核心。”

虽然大多数公司在印度数字转换他们的业务单位,仍然有很多旧的技能需求,Manish Gupta说,高级总监和总经理,印度基础设施解决方案集团、戴尔EMC。“我们希望候选人有天赋的旧和新技能,因为虽然有需求,包括新兴技术、旧技能仍然很相关。”

时数据科学和机器学习课程所看到的全面需求,所需要的五大传统技能技术服务公司在大量Java、Cobol、Sybase, C + +和Fortran。

“数字启用项目需要完整的专业人员具有丰富的技能在整个堆栈。从知道像Java中流砥柱,ASP。网络或服务器端的NodeJS AngularJS或ReactJS在前面……Vinil Menon说,首席技术官,CitiusTech。“我们也看到强劲需求的云计算等新兴领域(电梯和转移模型,微软Azure, AWS),大数据(火花,风暴,蜂巢),集装箱化(码头工人和Kubernetes), DevOps(厨师、木偶、PowerShell)。”

即便如此,在过去的一年里,印度的技术服务行业注册将近55000失业主要是员工努力在新技术获得技能,根据招聘机构的估计。事实上,前五名印度IT服务公司,跨国公司,看到了更快的增长数字技术为基础的服务与收入的比例在26%至28%之间不等。人力资源咨询公司的创始人Kamal Karanth Xpheno,认为结合新旧坚持行业70%的旧技能的要求。“虽然新技能可以给更多颜色的简历,基本知识的技能几乎是强制性的,“Karanth说。

睿都巴若那Chakraborty,印度人员联合会主席认为跨文化转变的公司正在与非认知技能重要新旧技术技能的结合。

“我们今天看候选人的适应性,灵活性和学习的能力。今天是否有团队合作精神一样重要作为强大的技术背景,“Chakraborty说猎头公司Teamlease的创始人之一。
