Virtualization jobs in Chicago are growing

Sunday, December 2nd, 2012

One of the fastest growing IT sectors, virtualization jobs in Chicago, is growing, according to a recent survey.

Cloud jobs are getting big all across the nation, but especially in large cities.

A recent survey found that 97% of Americans regularly use cloud-based services for activities such as social networking, online shopping and banking. Not only is the cloud now embedded in our daily lives, it’s become a necessity for companies seeking efficiency in their business processes. By transitioning to the cloud, companies can store data and run programs from anywhere.

Company hiring for IT jobs in Chicago

Sunday, February 26th, 2012

Liaison Technologies has announced it is hiring for IT jobs in Chicago, or an area very close to it.

The provider of secure cloud-based integration and data management services and solutions said it is expanding its presence in Carbondale, Ill., with a larger facility and additional hires, proving the benefits of “on-shoring” and illustrating that “rural sourcing” pays off for technology companies and the community.

Liaison chose Carbondale to serve as headquarters for its global Managed Services group two years ago. The company outgrew its space in the Dunn-Richmond Economic Development Center at SIU and has recently relocated to a 5,000-square-foot facility at 1075 Reed Station Road. Atlanta-based Liaison helps companies in more than 35 countries connect electronically with their business communities and trading partners, and ensures that on-premise and cloud-based business processes and applications can easily and securely share information.

“We decided that instead of sending these jobs offshore, we would try a different approach — staying onshore and finding a partner in rural Illinois to keep these jobs in the United States,” said Larry Mieldezis, Liaison’s COO. “Establishing our Managed Services hub in Carbondale was exactly the right thing to do as evidenced by the success we’ve had there, which has led to our expansion.”

“The IT talent is so strong at SIU that we really wanted to come here,” he said. “If more companies embrace rural sourcing and take advantage of the local talent, the days of graduates having to leave areas like southern Illinois to get jobs in the technology space will become a thing of the past.”

Contract could increase IT jobs in Chicago

Monday, October 17th, 2011

A new contract could bolster the amount of IT jobs in Chicago.

The U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has awarded Accenture Federal Services a five-year, $10.8 million contract to provide Oracle’s PeopleSoft application support and hosting services. The contract supports bringing business intelligence, analytics, and cost accounting to the commission.

Accenture will upgrade and expand existing software applications to enable the commission to access, organize and interpret information to improve efficiency and help transform information into predictive analytics using Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE) software. This shift will help the commission identify areas for process improvement and cost reductions.

By modernizing its financial management capabilities, the commission will be able to increase the effectiveness of its financial operations while reducing costs, said John Matchette, who heads Accenture’s Federal Public Safety practice.

“Using analytics will provide greater insight to the commission as we work to help create stronger financial management,” Matchette said.

If Chicago jobs are bolstered, Illinois jobs may also increase.

FERC was one of Accenture’s first PeopleSoft clients in the federal sector. Accenture implemented and operated the commission’s original software solution applications.
