COVID-19 Analysis

The COVID-19 outbreak has spurred businesses to create customer-focused software, leading to needed changes to cultures and approaches related to software engineering. This outbreak has unleashed two key shifts- a rise in digital interactions and online buying with customers and mandated remote work. Such changing dynamics have caught several organizations unprepared. Smart organizations have fortified their capabilities of virtual software engineering and laid emphasis on robust approaches that are data-driven and software products that are customer-centric.

Software in the current emerging landscape has become center and front for each company’s go-forward strategy. The outbreak showed that companies that was along digital journeys could pivot faster, thus containing the shockwaves during the initial stage. With this crisis causing near-term disruption in business, there has been the emergence of hotspots for innovation, showing that software engineering is capable of better addressing, like improving decision making and enhancing operational efficiencies. These entail shifting offline processes online, revamping the experience of the customers, and leveraging artificial intelligence to increase process effectiveness. Software, in fact, is the glue that binds them together. The current day crisis has increased the need for a software engineering job to be more software-centric. The goal is to develop software products that are built, keeping in mind the needs of the customer. In short, the software engineer job market in COVID was not impacted much.

During this crisis, software engineering teams are collaborating from home through cloud services such as Facebook Workplace, Microsoft Teams, Cisco Webex Meetings, and Google Meet. The on-going crisis throws light on the need to help workers in software job market in working anywhere, anytime. Thus, the demand for collaboration tools, conferencing tools, independent developer environments, and pair-programming tools have gone up. This is likely to have a positive impact on market growth.
