Cloud Computing

If you belong to the technology field, then cloud computing, but if you want to move to the management role or want inner depth knowledge of business to business perspective, go for BA (business analytics). Although, IBM has its own proprietary products in software, hardware, and servers. Inside IBM, you will be given n number of opportunities to go for the big amount of certifications and band levels which are highly in demand in corporate levels. Business analyst's role is higher than that of solution manager or SPM's. It requires much experience level to reach that position. Thus, BA certification is much better for the long run.
All the best.

Since, cloud services have a huge potential, the demand for professionals will be equally high in the coming years. Moreover, since India does not a have ready talent pool, they might command a premium," says Nitin Khanapurkar, executive director (advisory) KPMG, who works in the domain of cloud computing.
According to a study by global IT consulting firm Zinnov, the global cloud computing market is expected to be over $70 billion by 2015, and India will create job opportunities for about 3 lakh people in the same period.
Salary levels will be equally impressive. An entry-level professional, perhaps with 5-6 years of experience, can earn around 12-19 lakh, while a mid-level executive will get around 20 lakh. People with 10-15 years of experience can hope to get 30 lakh or more.
For those who want to upgrade their skills, the options are, however, limited. For their staff, IT companies themselves are providing training and there are some certificate courses offered by Aptech and NIIT, among others. Job seekers and students, who want to enter the exciting world of cloud computing, might have to wait a while before choices for study open up.
