With businesses looking to mine their vast amounts of data for a competitive edge, data architecture skills are in great demand and can lead to hefty salaries, an analyst report reveals.
Data architecture was ranked number 1 in the highest-paid noncertified skills list featured in the Foote Partners IT Skills and Certifications Pay Index covering the fourth quarter of 2013. A senior data architect with 10 or more years experience could command an average salary approaching $125,000, according to David Foote, chief analyst at Foote Partners. "It's just on fire," with data architecture and database skills demand likely being driven somewhat by data analytics and big data, Foote said.
