of different systems, end up interoperating with different networks – eventually have to build and program those too – and if they still are in the industry, research and test (self-R&D) new concepts, services and features – like Cloud & IOT.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">But these are all different skills.
<br>
Your not going to find an individual with skills in every single platform and every single operating system as they are all slightly different.
<br>
Even the newer Cloud platforms such as AWS and Google Compute vary slightly with what they can do and how they opperate.
<br>
You are better off building teams and having people with specific skill sets working on particular projects.
