In Hong Kong demand for IT professionals is driven by increased spending on technology by the booming financial sector and the 'halo effect' of China’s seemingly unstoppable economic growth. There is a strong demand for Project Managers and Business Analysts who have specific industry experience. Networking and security expertise are also hard to find.

With a growing economy, low unemployment rates, increased business spending, and government investment in new technologies, Singapore is fast becoming one of the most significant players in the Asia-Pacific IT market. Singapore is currently witnessing a strong demand for ERP implementation skills, especially in SAP. Networking, business analysis and project management experience are also highly sought after. Traditional IT roles like technical support and desktop support environments will continue to be in high demand.
