Interna'onal Technology Adop'on & Workforce Issues Study
Summary for Brazil
About this Research CompTIA’s Interna'onal Technology Adop'on and Workforce Issues study was conducted to collect and share informa'on on technology adop'on and workforce trends across several countries. The objec'ves of this research include: • Explore business and informa'on technology (IT) priori'es among organiza'ons • Examine the usage of key technologies/solu'ons and IT services such as security and cloud compu'ng • Iden'fy which IT skills are most important to employers and if there are any skills gap issues or staffing concerns • Evaluate professional development prac'ces such as training and cer'fica'on The data for this study was collected via a quan'ta've online survey conducted February 22 to March 23, 2013 among 1,256 IT and business execu'ves directly involved in seXng or execu'ng informa'on technology policies and processes within their organiza'ons. The 10 countries covered in this study include: Brazil (n=125); Canada (n=125); France (n=125); Germany (n=131); Japan (n=125); India (n=125); Mexico (n=125); Middle East Subset (Oman, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates) (n=125); Thailand (n=125); United Kingdom (n=125) Surveys were localized and translated to allow respondents to par'cipate in their na've language. Addi'onally, precau'ons were taken to minimize misinterpreta'ons of ques'ons. However, research has shown, cultural differences exist and can affect responses to certain ques'on types, such as 5-‐point sa'sfac'on ra'ng ques'ons. Viewers of this report should keep that in mind when comparing results across countries. The margin of sampling error at 95% confidence for aggregate results is +/-‐ 2.8 percentage points. Sampling error is larger for subgroups of the data, such as individual countries where it is +/-‐ 8.9 percentage points. As with any survey, sampling error is only one source of possible error. While non-‐sampling error cannot be accurately calculated, precau'onary steps were taken in all phases of the survey design, collec'on and processing of the data to minimize its influence. Note: because data collec'on occurred via an online survey, in countries where Internet penetra'on is lower among businesses, the non-‐sampling error could be higher. CompTIA is responsible for all content contained in this series. Any ques'ons regarding the study should be directed to CompTIA Market Research staff at research@comp'a.org. CompTIA is a member of the Marke'ng Research Associa'on (MRA) and adheres to the MRA’s Code of Market Research Ethics and Standards.

Top Rated IT Skills in Terms of the Importance of Maintaining a High Skill Level Among IT staff
Keep in mind, many emerging technologies, such as cloud or mobility, are important to businesses, but it may not yet be the highest priority to ensure a high level of IT staff exper'se. As businesses move along the adop'on curve and engage in more advanced uses of cloud and mobility, staff exper'se in those areas increases. Addi'onally, in some areas such as security, businesses may rely on outside experts for guidance, so building internal skills could be a lower priority.
