China's software industry will lack 200,000 high-end talents in the next five years.

There is an urgent need to expand the team of system analysts.

The 2006 China Software Engineering Conference and System Analyst Annual Meeting, sponsored by China System Analyst Consulting Group and grandly kicked off in Changsha on September 23rd, emphasized that the purpose of this conference is to better promote the growth of high-quality talents in the software industry.

Previously, Analysys International, a domestic high-tech information provider, pointed out that the lack of high-end talents is one of the most fatal obstacles to the development of China's software industry.

Low-level software developers make most software enterprises in China fall into a serious state of low-level repeated development, resulting in more than 90% of domestic software enterprises have less than 100 employees, while other software enterprises have only 3,000 to 4,000 employees. On the other hand, in India, there are hundreds of software companies with more than 1000 employees, while the top four software companies in the United States have more than 1 10,000 employees.

There will be a shortage of 200,000 high-end software talents in China in the next five years.

According to the statistical data of Jishi Information, an authoritative research institution in China, among the nearly 200,000 software employees in Beijing, the ratio of high-end talents, middle-end talents and low-end talents with basic software R&D personnel is about 1:6:3, and among the nearly 20,000 software employees in Hunan, the ratio is 1:5:4, which is the same as the whole country.

The reason for this situation is that in recent years, in order to provide sufficient talent reserve for the development of software industry, Chinese universities have set up software majors in succession. With the enrollment of 35 model software colleges and the increase of training institutions run by social forces, the supply of software talents in China has increased, and the number of undergraduate students majoring in software has reached millions every year. It can be predicted that the number of employees in the software industry in China will increase from 900,000 at present to about 2.5 million in the next five years.

Zhang Yousheng Bosheng, chief consultant of China Systems Analyst Consulting Group, believes that this has improved the shortage of software talents in China to some extent. But it has not changed the serious shortage of high-end software talents, including system analysts and project technical supervisors, and low-end talents, such as software coding programmers.

In the same period, the Ministry of Personnel revealed that in the past three years, the recruitment and job-hunting ratio of computer graduates in China's talent market has obviously shown a trend of oversupply, which also shows that there is a surplus of middle-end talents.

Zhang Yousheng believes that there is a problem of insufficient integration with the market in cultivating talents in colleges and universities. At present, the students trained by the school are in parallel with the skills needed by the market, which leads to the employment situation of more and more software intermediate talents is not optimistic.

At the 2006 China Software Engineering Conference, Professor Zhou Bosheng, an academician of the International Society of Design and Process Science and Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, said in an interview that not only software enterprises in Hunan, but also domestic software enterprises are generally small in scale, and a large number of small and medium-sized software enterprises still maintain the backward manual workshop production mode. Compared with countries with industrialized software industry, due to the serious shortage of high-end talents, the scale of software enterprises is small, which has become a bottleneck that puzzles the development of China's software industry, and also makes the talent problem become a problem that China's software development process can not be in line with international standards and lacks the competitiveness with multinational companies.

He believes that talent is the most important resource in the software industry. In order to realize the development plan of the Ministry of Information Industry, the software industry in China will increase its output value from 390 billion yuan in 2005 to 20 10/0. The key lies in vigorously cultivating high-quality talents. Similarly, compared with developed countries in software industry, the number of high-end software talents in China will be at least 200,000 in the next five years, and the annual salary of these high-end software talents with strong comprehensive strength will exceed one million yuan.

Unwilling to be lonely system analyst

There are only tens of thousands of system analysts in China, which are "unattainable" in the eyes of millions of software personnel and an unfamiliar group in the eyes of the public.

What is different is that the 2006 China Software Engineering Conference and Annual Meeting of System Analysts, which kicked off in Changsha, lacked the official color of the "National Brand" conference except the full interaction with powerful media such as Sina Technology, Silicon Valley Power and Tianji.com.
