DHI Group, Inc. announced today via Dice, its career hub for technology professionals, that technologists are primed to support the rapidly changing landscape of business operations due to COVID-19.

Technologists can help deliver solutions for many of the problems that companies and communities are facing due to the Coronavirus pandemic. These include access to real-time public health information, shifting toward remote work and home-school/distance-learning, bolstering necessary cybersecurity, moving to e-commerce platforms, customer service needs, backend database support and more.

Due to the offshoring of technical resources and dispersed team structures a decade ago, working remotely has been a longtime trend in tech. However, with COVID-19’s impact on business-as-usual, increasing numbers of technologists are now working from home, which research shows most technologists prefer.

The Dice 2020 Tech Salary Report showed that 73 percent of technologists found remote work to be an important benefit, but only 49 percent said that they had that flexibility from their employer.

In addition to EUS technologists, the following roles are key to successful remote work plans:

• Cloud architects who build out cloud platforms; Dice currently has 7,000 active cloud architects.
• Product managers /project managers who are already adept at managing remote teams; Dice currently has 28,000 active product managers.
• System administrators who support databases and IT infrastructure; Dice has over 19,000 system admins.
