Information management and employment prospects of information systems?

The construction of information system is a complex system engineering, which can not be solved by finding a few technicians. Without management experience, accumulation of technical platform and professional means of implementation, it is difficult to achieve results. This compound talent is defined as "knowing both management and computers". Trust management major, love and hate are inseparable? ■ Liao's information management major in American ArcSoft (Hangzhou) Company is an interdisciplinary major of management and computer science, but his courses generally include management related courses, information retrieval related courses and computer related courses. Many students believe that after graduating from this major, the management skills of management majors will not be comparable, and the computer skills of computer majors will not be comparable. In fact, on the other hand, management majors don't know technology and computer majors don't know management-what enterprises need now is more comprehensive talents. Undoubtedly, as long as we study professionally enough, our weaknesses are likely to become our strengths. Typical post-ERP implementation engineer or ERP implementation consultant professional status: With the widespread popularization and application of informatization, society and enterprises have an increasing demand for informatization talents. However, there is a shortage of compound talents who know business, management and technology in China. According to the estimation of Hou Binghui, an ERP expert and professor of Tsinghua University, there are only 1,000 qualified ERP implementation consultants in China at present, which is only a drop in the bucket compared with hundreds of thousands of domestic enterprises that need informatization. At present, ERP talents are mainly employed in three directions: one is to work in a software company and engage in software implementation; The second is to work in software application units to improve the efficiency of users' software use; Third, we should set up our own company to provide software consulting and implementation services as a bridge between software companies and users. In the next few years, China will need a large number of third-party companies specializing in software consulting and implementation services. Salary level: the average salary is not less than 3,000 yuan/month. For a large foreign-funded firm like KPMG, the salary of an implementation consultant is not less than 7,000 yuan/month, and that of a newcomer is about 5,000 yuan/month. Expert advice: The most important thing for well-known consultants to be ERP implementation consultants is communication skills. Mr. Yang Jingchao, former senior manager of KPMG China Company, gave the author a very simple example to illustrate that the internal management and business of each enterprise are very different. When an enterprise requires you to implement ERP, you must go to every department of the enterprise to familiarize yourself with other people's business processes. How can we go on without communication? The cultivation of communication ability can start from the university. Don't be afraid, speak up and tell others what you think, and learn to listen and admit your mistakes. Communication is really everywhere. Secondly, management and marketing knowledge, as well as financial knowledge. To do ERP, it is necessary to integrate all departments of the enterprise, even the upstream and downstream resources of the enterprise, so you should understand the work contents of each department and the advanced and popular management methods and systems of an enterprise. About these, you can read some professional journals and implementation cases on the website to get familiar with them. You don't have to know the actual details (in fact, you don't have any chance to get in touch with these details except through internship), but you must know the management ideas and basic market principles. A person who goes to a client's office and asks why there must be marketing public relations expenditure is not invited by a consulting company to destroy his professional image. Basically, we can't see these things in the current textbooks. We suggest that students read some excellent management periodicals, such as Sales and Marketing and Business. Some practical articles about them should give us inspiration different from textbooks. It is also beneficial to visit some professional websites such as China Marketing Communication Network (www.emkt.com.cn) to read some articles or participate in some discussions. Finally, you should have certain computer application ability and be familiar with some large database management systems (such as Oracle/SQL Server/ /DB2/). ). The Ministry of Information Industry and PCCW jointly established the ERP talent training certification-the technical qualification certificate of ERP management consultant, and UFIDA software also developed the whole training course of ERP implementation. Conditional students can attend training and get certificates, which is helpful for job hunting. Typical post 2 Professional status of management software development engineer: From the perspective of demand and "money", the industry is generally optimistic about IT talents after the Spring Festival this year. In this big environment, the market situation of this position in 2005 and beyond should be quite optimistic. Salary: similar to that of software engineer in IT industry. According to different regions, it is around 3000-6000 yuan/month. The prices offered by companies such as Huawei and Kingdee are enviable among previous graduates. Expert advice: Compared with students majoring in computer and management, we all have certain advantages on the other hand. I chose to focus on computers in college, and then I became familiar with three major economics courses: finance, management and market. Besides having some basic management knowledge, we should also have the concept of teamwork. As we all know, large-scale software development is completed by teams (so-called projects), and your work and cooperation ability are directly related to the progress of the project. I suggest you find some books about team building and cooperation during your school days, first form a concept, and then try to participate in some team activities to understand how to do things well through cooperation. Ability to program with more than one programming tool. At present, the mainstream development tool or language is DELPHI/JAVA/PB/ASP/HTML, and it is also necessary to be familiar with large-scale database management systems (such as Oracle/SQL Server/DB2). ). Also, the idea of software engineering is very important. Being engaged in this position is hard, the work pressure is relatively high, the knowledge is updated quickly, and the ability of continuous learning is needed. After having some work experience, I can hold management positions such as project manager and technical director. It is recommended to participate in JAVA language certification. Typical post 3 Professional status of software testing engineer: With the continuous improvement of software quality in the market, software testing will become more and more important, and the status and treatment of corresponding testers will gradually improve. In large companies with relatively standardized software testing processes such as Microsoft, the number and treatment of software testers are not much different from those of programmers, and the treatment of excellent testers is even higher than that of programmers. Software testing will become a promising industry, and software testing is promising. According to relevant post statistics, in most foreign software companies, 1 software development engineers need to supplement two software testing engineers. In addition, the online game industry has developed rapidly. This software testing engineer, who is recognized as a "sunrise" industry, should be a temptation for many students: he can play games for free and get a good salary. However, these are all guaranteed by your good professional quality. Salary level: about 2000-4000 yuan/month for newcomers. According to industry professionals, the salary of this position is as high as 8000 yuan/month. Expert advice: be proficient in software engineering, familiar with software testing process, and have a deep understanding and experience of software testing methods and software quality assurance. Knowledge of software programming is better. Software testing is the basis of software quality assurance. Familiar with test theory and process, at least proficient in using automated test tools or test management tools. Strive to master C/C++ or Java, ASP, JSP, MS SQL, Oracle database and software configuration management tools, and it is best to participate in the development of some practical projects (such as amateur workshops and holiday internships composed of several students). The training course for software testing engineers held by China Software Evaluation Center has received a good response in the industry. If you can participate in similar training programs, it will help you master specific and practical technologies. Typical position 4 Professional position of network management or computer room maintenance position: Basically, slightly larger enterprises have their own websites and local area networks-that requires network management, so the demand statistics of this position in the talent market are also very beautiful. However, at present, the network administrators set up by domestic enterprises only stay in simple operations such as uploading and downloading resources, maintaining local area network and troubleshooting computers, and the treatment is not ideal. And the space for personal development is relatively small. However, network administrators who are proficient in web design technology and have excellent design works still have money. Expert's suggestion: The personnel in this position are generally engaged in the management and maintenance of computer equipment, and need to have some basic knowledge of computer hardware and computer network. It would be better if you have knowledge of computer security. If you can receive some relevant training and get certificates (such as Microsoft, CCNA and other certifications) during your school study, you will have more advantages in employment. Typical position 5 Professional status and salary level of management positions: See the last issue of University Weekly for details. Expert advice: Competition for jobs like this is a fact that graduates of our major are unwilling but have to face. Many previous graduates have embarked on this road. I think I can make full use of my professional background-computer, and take the lead in applying for sales and management positions in some IT companies. In addition to solid and systematic economic professional knowledge, good communication skills and organizational skills are also essential, and rich social practice experience is particularly important. Students who are interested in this position are engaged in social practice during their school days. If you can have an enterprise internship, don't miss it.
