Four separate sectors in Information technology and beyond

As an application support analyst, one can be quite familiar with the process of level 3 support. For g. Ripley, app. support analyst and systems analyst are my career paths. For the application support personality, one has to work with the cloud sector; business intelligence (BI); customer relationship management (crm); and enterprise resource planning (erp). To achieve maximum results and gain the most knowledge, G. Ripley wants to be an expert in all four sectors. Second, here are the top three companies in the cloud services/software area: 1. Amazon web services (AWS); 2. Microsoft Azure; 3. google cloud platform. Business Intelligence involves getting data through different tools to perform ETL (extract, transform, and load) process. Three well known companies along with their respective products in BI sector are Tableau desktop/online/support; Microsoft PowerBI; and Informatica powercenter. SAP BusinessObjects is another key player in the BI sector. After mastering the cloud and Business Intelligence, the next step includes familiarizing oneself with customer relationship management.

When people talk about the cloud, it is a very broad subject. Let's break it down. The cloud will consist of Iaas, Paas, and Saas. Iaas is Infrastructure as a service; Paas is platform as a service; and Saas is software as a service. Lastly, the reader should recognize that there will be a lot of different IT acronyms used in today's tech. jargon. It is not a necessity to know all of them.
