Computer Science

About

Computing is part of everything we do. Computing drives innovation in engineering, business, entertainment, education, and the sciences—and it provides solutions to complex, challenging problems of all kinds. Computer science is the study of computers and computational systems. It is a broad field which includes everything from the algorithms that make up software to how software interacts with hardware to how well software is developed and designed. Computer scientists use various mathematical algorithms, coding procedures, and their expert programming skills to study computer processes and develop new software and systems.

How is Computer Science Different from IT? Computer science focuses on the development and testing of software and software systems. It involves working with mathematical models, data analysis and security, algorithms, and computational theory. Computer scientists define the computational principles that are the basis of all software. Information technology (IT) focuses on the development, implementation, support, and management of computers and information systems. IT involves working both with hardware (CPUs, RAM, hard disks) and software (operating systems, web browsers, mobile applications). IT professionals make sure that computers, networks, and systems work well for all users.

Opportunities in India

The booming IT industrial sector has helped India make a mark on the global economic map. It has helped change the Indian economy from an agricultural-based to a knowledge-driven economy. Thanks to the contributions made by the IT industry towards the country’s GDP, the Indian economy has seen consistent growth. The IT industry is a hub of innovators providing world-class technology solutions across the globe. Various international organizations have set up offices in India like Google, Accenture, Deloitte, and others. Information Technology has been growing faster than ever in recent years in India and worldwide. And it has made significant impacts on the lives of many, from providing jobs to providing essential services.

Moreover, the pandemic has fuelled digital spending since 2021, recording a steady growth in IT services. Digital Transformation is the way forward, and firms intending to win in the digital economy must embrace this change. The advancement in technology has made a difference in the skills required across various business operations. Companies are quickly moving their operations online, leveraging technology and data to reach customers, understand their needs and provide products and services in an increasingly competitive business environment. Recruitment in the tech industry is on the rise. Professionals are switching to IT at the onset of 2022, given its rising demand and lucrative opportunities.

Opportunities in NZ

The New Zealand ICT Market is Segmented by Type (Hardware, Software, IT Services, and Telecommunication Services), Size of Enterprise (Small and Medium Enterprise and Large Enterprises), and Industry Vertical (BFSI, IT and Telecom, Government, Retail and E-commerce, Manufacturing, and Energy and Utilities). The country's technology sector has seen rapid growth over the past year, with revenue and exports up 9 percent on the year earlier. The Technology Investment Network's (TIN) annual report on the top 200 tech companies indicates the sector grew nine times faster than the rest of economy, with total revenue of $15.11 billion, representing a gain of $1.25b.

The top 31 companies earned more than $100 million in revenue, with the top four generating more than $1b. The strong revenue growth has resulted in an overall underlying profit of nearly $2.5b. The tech sector also earned 76 percent of its revenue overseas, generating $11.5b in exports, or 14 percent of New Zealand's total, second only to the dairy sector. The information and communications technologies (ICT) sector in New Zealand is divergent, covering wireless infrastructure, health IT, digital content, payments, geospatial, telecommunications, agricultural technology, and more. Several global industries like the global IT services provider Fujitsu have chosen New Zealand as a base for their ICT operations.
