The keynote addresses how mobile operators can optimize networks, improve quality of experience for video, and create new business models to better monetize mobile data and close the profitability gap. Examples discussed include tiered pricing, personalized services, content insertion and filtering, dual persona/BYOD models, and generating revenues from both sides of business-to-business-to-consumer transactions.
The document provides insights into ICT tertiary education and job market trends in New Zealand for November 2012.

The document summarizes the Manhattan office market in Q4 2012. It notes that 2012 saw sluggish leasing activity and a 25% drop in total leasing from 2011, largely due to economic uncertainty. While large transactions disappeared, fundamentals like the unemployment rate improved modestly. The forecast predicts continued modest declines in vacancy rates and rent increases in 2013, but smaller deals and slower job growth, especially in finance.

The document summarizes ICT job market trends in New Zealand. It finds that Trademe IT job adverts increased 10.2% in June and 40.8% year-to-date. Seek ICT job adverts increased 5.3% in June but decreased 5% from June 2015, though increased 48.6% year-to-date. Demand is highest for jobs in Java, C, C++, Python and C# according to Seek data. There is a large shortage of computer science graduates to fill over 500,000 open computing jobs across many sectors.
ICT Trends Article March 2016: Contrasts in DemandGarry Roberton
1. Demand for ICT jobs in New Zealand has seen a slight downturn in early 2016, decreasing 7% year-on-year according to Seek job listings, while Australia has experienced 10% growth.
2. The skills shortage in Australia has led to international workers filling the majority of new ICT roles, with 23,000 added in the past year, as few as 3,000 were filled domestically.
3. Gender diversity in the technology sector remains an issue globally, with women making up only about 19% of software developers and engineers according to a survey of 84 companies. Initiatives in various countries aim to increase the number of women in technical fields.
ICT Trends Article - Big Data - October 2015Garry Roberton
October has seen a slight drop of 3 per cent in the number of IT jobs advertised on Trademe while Seek ICT job adverts have increased marginally for the second month in a row, up 2 per cent. Auckland rose 7 per cent this month after a four month decline, down by 16 per cent from a May peak.
Big data is big news. The NZ government has tasked a new think tank, the Data Futures Partnership, with looking at how huge pools of data could be linked together and shared by private and public sectors. With IBM predicting that 4.4 million IT jobs will be created globally to support big data by 2015 the potential for future demand for IT specialist roles in big data is enormous.
Currently in NZ the roles of data analytics, software engineers and project managers dominate the Seek ICT big data job adverts. Given the rising demand for skilled ICT employees, especially in the role of data analytics, it will require a significant effort by all concerned; government, tertiary institutes, and industry, to address this anticipated demand and to ensure the success of big data projects.
ICT Trends Article October 2014 - Tomorrow's InnovatorsGarry Roberton

ICT Trends Article July 2014: Cloud ComputingGarry Roberton
This document discusses trends in cloud computing and the ICT job market. It provides statistics on the growth of cloud-related jobs in New Zealand from 2012 to 2014 based on job listings. Specifically, it notes that cloud developer jobs have increased over 450% in under two years. The document also shares insights on ICT job trends and skills demand in various countries like Australia, Ireland, South Africa and the United States.
ICT Trends Article June 2014: Fresh DevelopmentsGarry Roberton
The document discusses recent developments in programming and trends in programming languages. Researchers are working to make programming more intuitive and simplify the teaching of computer science. Popular languages currently include C, Java, and C++, while Apple's new language Swift is growing. ICT job postings increased in June after a previous drop, with Wellington seeing the largest rise over the past year. Efforts to improve programming tools and languages may help address skills shortages by appealing to more students and broadening participation in computer science.
Over the past year the median salary in the NZ IT sector has seen a healthy rise in contrast with the wider economy. In January 2014 Absolute IT recorded the first notable increase in the national base median salary, now sitting at $80,000, since 2011.
The document summarizes ICT trends over the past year. It finds that careers in ICT are in high demand globally and in New Zealand, with the ICT industry contributing $19.3 billion annually to New Zealand's economy. Roles such as business analysts, cloud specialists, and mobile app developers are among the most in-demand. While ICT job postings have declined slightly in recent months, the overall outlook remains positive with continued skills shortages expected.
Global demand for ICT skills remains high, with Europe expecting a shortage of 900,000 ICT jobs by 2015. The gap between supply and demand of workers with ICT skills also appears to be deteriorating worldwide. In New Zealand, occupations like ICT project managers, developers, and programmers remain on the long-term skills shortage list, indicating an ongoing shortage. While the number of ICT job advertisements has decreased slightly recently, the overall trend this year shows an increase in demand. Programming languages like C, Java, PHP and C# continue to be in high demand across New Zealand regions.
The document discusses concerns about a growing skills gap in ICT fields internationally. Many countries are seeing declining enrollments in STEM programs. In response, governments and industries are pursuing strategies like updating school curriculums, promoting STEM careers to students, and partnering with academia and each other to try to reverse these trends. The document provides examples of these efforts and debates around the ICT skills gap in countries like the US, Australia, the UK, Ireland, New Zealand and others.
The document discusses trends in youth unemployment and the ICT job market in New Zealand. It finds that while overall unemployment has decreased, youth unemployment remains high, especially in Auckland. Demand for ICT jobs is growing, with online job postings for ICT roles up 60% since January. However, there remains a mismatch between unemployed youth and the skills required for open ICT roles. Efforts are needed from industry, education and government to help train and engage unemployed youth to address both issues.
International enrolments in New Zealand tertiary education have declined 7% over the past year, costing the industry an estimated $2.5 billion annually. International student numbers have fallen at the University of Waikato, for example, from 1670 in 2010 to an anticipated 1470 in 2012. The high value of the New Zealand dollar, the rise of Asian universities, and changes to policies in countries like Canada, Australia and the US have been blamed for the decline in international students choosing New Zealand. While data on 2012 enrolments is not yet available, figures from 2005-2011 show a decline in both international diploma and degree enrolments from their peak numbers. ICT job advertisements have increased by 30%

- Flying New Zealand’s ICT Flag (Tues 20th Nov 2012)
Strong message from Communications and Information Technology Minister Amy
Adams addressing ICT professionals in Wellington;
New Zealand’s ICT sector is being urged to “fly its flag” more aggressively to
promote its value as a key driver in the economy and attract much needed talent
$20 billion growth industry, employing more than 40,000 people and nipping at
the heels of agriculture as the country’s main export earner
Key issues addressed; skill shortages, education, government procurement
processes, more effective use of ICT solutions in provision of public services and
boosting the industry’s profile locally and on the global stage
A key challenge - the industry’s low visibility, which needs to change in order to
help address major barriers to growth such as shortages of local talent
The Government’s Network for Learning initiative is bringing digital education into
schools while actively encouraging schools to promote ICT as a creative and
rewarding career pathway
At a tertiary level, funding has been boosted for digital/technology courses and
Government is working with training institutes to ensure graduates are delivering the
skills needed by industry

23. Conclusion
Demand for Skills
In spite of the recent downturn in online ICT job advertisements in NZ and
Australia, the shortage of ICT personnel with the necessary skills is an issue
that extends well beyond these shores
There is a serious mismatch in many countries around the world, including
NZ, between the numbers of unemployed youth (15 to 25 year olds) and
the number of ICT jobs available, that needs to be addressed urgently
(80,000 15 to 25 year olds in NZ in the NEET category)
The continuing development of strategies, by industry, government and
professional bodies, to get young people enrolling in and completing ICT
qualifications is absolutely essential. Otherwise, in the medium to long
term, the gap between supply and demand will continue to widen to the
detriment of the NZ digital economy
