New Career Opportunities Abound as Dependency on Computer Technology Grows

(NewsUSA) - In personal and professional life, computer technology impacts even the simplest, everyday tasks. Whether through online bill payment or the seamless integration of global businesses, computer technology offers optimized productivity and the flow of commerce, making it a vital component of success for all businesses.

This unwavering dependence on computer technology has spurred the growth of related fields, making the present a great time to earn a degree in computer information systems (CIS). According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment in this field is projected to grow by 30 percent from 2008 to 2018, much faster than the average of all occupations, opening the door for those with applicable skills to apply their talents and passion for computing and technology in the workplace.

"There are many diverse specializations within CIS," says Paul Rader, professor, College of Engineering and Information Sciences at DeVry University's Fremont, Calif., campus.

"Professionals trained in CIS can work within a variety of capacities at an organization or company."

DeVry University (www.devry.edu) offers nine specializations through its Bachelor's in Computer Information Systems degree program, including:

Information Security

As more business and retail transactions are completed online, computer security specialists play a vital role in maintaining information security. In this role, individuals are responsible for installing security software, monitoring for network security breaches and responding to cyber attacks. As hacking becomes an increasingly prominent crime, those specializing in this role have become a necessity in the business world.

Web Development and Administration

Web developers have the opportunity to channel both creative and technical passions into the design, production and implementation of applications for websites.

Webmasters or web administrators, on the other hand, are responsible for maintaining websites and their content. In addition, they collect and analyze activity data, traffic patterns and other metrics.

System Administrator

Named one of the best jobs for fast growth by CNNMoney.com, systems administrators ensure that all components of a network are working together in harmony. As globalization increases, companies rely more heavily on computer networks for business success, and demand for those with skills in this area is on the rise.

Systems Analysis and Integration

An ideal role for challenge-seekers, systems analysts design and develop new systems, solve problems and integrate systems to perform more efficiently and effectively. They are also tasked with anticipating the needs of a company's network hardware and ensuring it can meet present and future requirements.

Regardless of the industry, all companies rely on individuals with expertise in CIS to continue to grow, develop new products and services and stay one step ahead of their market competitors.
