Chapter 207: The Information Center is a Holy Place for Further Study

In many large enterprises and system industries with a high degree of information application, the information center is a special technical department with the nature of application software technical support services, which is the best training ground for rookies in the workplace, a training ground for compound talents and a holy place for all-round staff, which is Chen Yanan's experience in four years of work.

At the beginning, why did she care so much about the "Tobacco Purchase, Transfer, Sales and Inventory Management System" that Qi Jingtao was responsible for, and tried every means to intervene in that new project?

She definitely did not want to seek technical dominance in that project, make a breakthrough in computer program development and design, and then become the technical backbone of the information center. Because, that's not her career path.

If she just wants to have her own independently developed and designed software system, successfully gain a foothold in the information center, and become a technical expert like Li Li, who is also a woman, she began to exert her strength as early as when she first worked. In the early days of the new business gap of the information center, it was not difficult to develop and design an independent stand-alone version of the application system software, and she was also a professional with that technical ability.

After all, she is a qualified graduate of Sichuan University majoring in computer software design, and she was already able to independently develop and design application software when she was in school. If you fight for the fame of the school from which she graduated, the university from which these colleagues graduated from the information center is not as famous as her alma mater, and the gold content of the graduation certificate is not as high as hers.

Just because she is the child of a Nanyan employee, and because she has resources that other colleagues can't have, she knows too well what her future career positioning in Nanyan should be. She did not show her professional talents in the purely technical department of the information center, and she did not plan to develop in the information center for a long time. Her own professional knowledge is just a stepping stone to work in Nanyan, not her ideal career development direction.

After working in the information center, she took over the software maintenance work of several business departments in a targeted manner, and willingly fell behind Li Li, Huang Yunshen, Zhang Hong, and even Liu Jianmin, a college student who entered the information center with her, in terms of program development and design ability.

If your program development and design ability is not as good as others, you don't have to fight on the front line of technical work like those colleagues. Undertake one after another software development, design, and promotion tasks, like a program dog, busy and busy, without stopping to trim the time. Even Liu Zheng, director of the information center, also spends most of his energy on technology development, and he also belongs to the kind of old scalper who is like a program dog.

After all, the information center is a functional department, not only technical work needs to be done, but also a large number of department management work needs to be completed. Director Liu Zheng focuses on technology development and technical research, and someone must always take over the daily management of the information center to assist him in management.

Liu Zheng looked around the entire information center, yes, Chen Yanan seemed to be a little powerless in terms of technology, and there was no application software development, design, promotion, and maintenance tasks. At that time, there were two or three kittens in the information center, and those technical backbones who usually ran in the department could not be found, only she often stayed in the office, so she was asked to assist her in managing the internal business of the department. With such a large information center, there must be someone on duty, right?

Chen Yanan took over the internal business of the information center as he wished, and while engaged in his own small application software maintenance business, he easily took care of the internal administrative logistics of the information center in an orderly manner, and became a special existence in the information center, often appearing on various occasions on behalf of the information center. Qi Jingtao had just worked, and when he came to report to the information center, he thought that Chen Yanan was the deputy director of the information center!

In Chen Yanan's career planning, he worked in the information center for a few years, used the special business platform of the information center to enrich himself, improve his comprehensive ability, and then find a suitable opportunity to leave the information center and go to other departments to achieve an unexpected high starting point.

This career planning roadmap is not Chen Yanan's own speculation, there are precedents and traces to be found. There is no need to understand the situation of other enterprises, and there are precedents within Nanyan Group Company.

Before the formal establishment of the information center, those old colleagues who worked in the computer management room, the predecessor of the information center, most of them lacked the ability in the professional field of computer program development and design. When the information center was established, the first batch of old colleagues of Nanyan Group who came into contact with the computer industry did not stay in the information center, and most of them were transferred to work in the corresponding departments of other business information applications.

Those old colleagues are all experts in the use of information technology, and now they are the business backbone of their departments, and they are all business generalists in their departments with computer skills. So far, three of the old colleagues who have been transferred from the computer management office have been promoted to department heads.

Chen Yanan has the information of those old classmates, and she knows that Wang Qing, who was transferred to the rebaking factory, and Zhu Xuejun, who was transferred to the material company. Wei Xiaofen, who was transferred to the housing management department, has been promoted to a leadership position and has become a department head at the department level or deputy department, and enjoys the transcendent salary and bonus treatment of the 7th post. The development momentum of the other few people is also good, if nothing else, continue to work hard, and wait for the old leaders to move their positions, and it is a matter of time before they are promoted. The high proportion of those old colleagues who have gone out of the computer management room has far exceeded the probability of employees transferred from other functional departments. Of course, there is another special department that cannot be compared, the secretarial department, that is, a cadre promotion reserve pool.

If it weren't for Qi Jingtao's strong rise and the creation of such an online version of the "Tobacco Purchase, Transfer, Sales and Inventory Management System", he would have isolated himself from the business contact of the Economic Operation Department and lost the opportunity to show his business ability; if it weren't for Director Liu Zheng's business grouping, if it weren't for the sudden increase in the business workload of the hardware group, or if it weren't for the fact that she happened to be pregnant, it would not have been the best time to be transferred to any department.

Chen Yanan has her own news channel, she already knew that there were a bunch of department leaders in the Ministry of Economic Operation who were approaching their age, and it was a good time to transfer them now. However...... In life, family and work must be taken into account, and children are still needed. I'm still young, just wait for the right time!

Looking at these energetic colleagues in the information center, Chen Yanan is genuinely worried about their future prospects. Huang Yunshen, Zhang Hong, Li Li, Qi Jingtao, these simple and optimistic technical nerds, under the leadership of Liu Zheng, an old technical nerd, are happily engaged in the work of the program dog that they think is satisfactory.

Don't they know that the profession of computer software development and design is also a profession that eats youth, especially for programmers who are engaged in software development and design in enterprises and institutions, and there is no future or development prospect for them to engage in software development and design. After all, a department like the information center is only a technical support and service department, not the main business of an industrial enterprise like Nanyan Group.

If you look at Director Liu Zheng, you will know that there is a department leader like him in the entire Nanyan Group, who has worked hard for many years to fight on the front line of technology? The rapid development of the computer industry determines that the leaders of this department need to constantly study, improve, and update their professional knowledge and technology. It is so hard to be a middle-level leader, and there is no competitor with comparable qualifications and abilities who are willing to take the initiative to take his place? Because this position is not only hard, but also difficult to continue to promote.

Director Liu Zheng, how long can he hold on? How much energy can he continue to study and research the new knowledge of enterprise information technology, and continue to lead the young people of the information center forward?

You must know that the development of IT technology is changing with each passing day, and the speed of updating new ideas, new knowledge, and new technologies far exceeds that of other fields. In order to keep up with the development and progress of IT technology and rush to the front line of technology, professional programmers in the information center of industrial enterprises must continue to learn, constantly update their professional knowledge, and constantly master new technical tools. After all, people's energy is limited, such a work and life, it's okay to do it for a few years, it's okay to do it for more than ten years, work until retirement, decades and years, how much passion can you burn?
