Talk on Skills for the 21st Century -
Information Management in the Global
Marketplace + Announcement of Search
for the XML Superstars in ASEAN Contest
“IBM has been actively engaging universities
all over the world to discuss the impact and
effects of globalisation on the
next-generation workforce. Working with an
ecosystem of clients, business partners,
local government officials and academia, we
have initiated high level dialogues around
the skills students need to compete in the
global economy. In this Internet age, there
is an explosion of information in
organizations. Information management
software integrates data and enterprise
content to leverage information on demand.
Sharing, exchanging, storing and analysing
information efficiently and effectively are
of great importance in the global economy
today. Rising demand from the industries
creates the need for skills-building in the
areas of database management and XML which
are the driving forces of Service Oriented
Architecture (SOA) and open technology.
Knowledge in these areas will contribute to
innovation of technology and processes which
in turn enhances business transactions and
operations.”
