(IDG) -- Few career tracks have become as segmented as the tech sector's vocations. The particular skill set an applicant brings to a job interview can be make-or-break information.
But which certification is right for you? The answer really depends on the stage of your career, the certifications you already have and your chosen technology area.
But at any given time, there usually are some hot-button certifications that -- because of supply, demand or the difficulty of achieving them -- can substantially Excellerate your salary or career prospects.
For example, just a few years ago, the Microsoft Certified Software Engineer (MCSE) certification promised large salary jumps for IT professionals. While it's still the most popular certification and still in demand, so many people have the MCSE certification (almost 400,000 engineers in the United States) that it's become more of an entry-level requirement.
We asked IT recruiters and certification experts for their views on what will supply you the most bang for your buck in the next year or two. We look at the top two here. Most of these are top-end certifications that require a few years of job experience in addition to training.
Because they're more difficult to obtain, these certifications can increase your salary by 20 or 30 percent, according to Mike Kovatsh, a specialist in training and certification techies.com based in Edina, Minnesota.
Networking
• Cisco Certified Internetworking Expert (CCIE)
Summary: Introduced in 1993, the CCIE helps identify Internet-working experts. There are five areas in which you can be certified: routing and switching, wide-area network switching, ISP Dial, SNA/IP, and integration and design.
Requirements: You must take a two-hour computer-based qualification exam and a two-day, hands-on lab exam at a Cisco Systems Inc. facility. The lab exam requires a deep understanding of Cisco equipment and general networking. Training alone is insufficient, but it can help, and there's a suggested list of Cisco courses to take. There are only two test lab sites, in San Jose, California, and in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina.
How long it takes to obtain: It could take four or five years just to obtain the necessary experience to pass the CCIE exam. Assuming you're working full time, you might take a year or two to study for and take the written test and then study for, take and pass the lab exam. "It's pretty typical for half the candidates who take the lab exam to fail on their first try," says Ed Tittel, vice president of IT certifications at iLearning Inc., a training and education provider in Baltimore, Maryland.
Supply vs. demand: CCIEs are "few and far between," says Ben Sabrin, a senior search consultant at New York-based recruitment firm Pencom Systems Inc. According to Cisco, there are fewer than 3,000 of these certified professionals in North America. They're especially in demand in the optical and networking space, such as at telecommunications firms.
Average cost: The lab test costs $1,250, and the exam fee is $300. Training ranges from $1,420 if you self-study to $4,100 to $6,300 if you study in a classroom, according to Tittel.
Career benefit: Having the CCIE designates you as part of an elite corps of internetworking professionals. It's one of the premier IT certifications.
Salary benefit: CCIEs can expect a 10-percent to 20-percent boost in salary, says Sabrin. And according to a survey last fall by TCPmag.com, CCIE certificate holders earn an average base income of $115,400 -- a $45,500 jump (an almost 40-percent increase) over Cisco Certified Network Architects, another certification. They also report larger bonuses, more stock options, more paid training and higher job satisfaction than holders of other Cisco certifications.
Software development
• Senior Java Certification
Summary: Certification programs include Certified Programmer for the Java Platform; Certified Developer for the Java Platform; and Certified Enterprise Architect for Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition Technology.
Requirements: The programmer track requires one exam; the developer track requires one exam and one assignment, plus previous programmer certification; and the architect track requires a multiple-choice exam, an essay exam and one assignment. Certifications can be obtained from Sun Microsystems Inc.; Hewlett-Packard Co.; BEA Systems Inc.; IBM, Sybase Inc.,; Netscape Communications Corp.; Novell Inc.; or Oracle Corp.
How long it takes to obtain: You should have about two years of experience before taking the exam. If you have a full-time job, it could take six months to a year to obtain the certification.
Supply vs. demand: According to Tittel, there are six to seven job openings for each Java-certified individual.
Average cost: exam and assignment costs from Sun range from $150 for programmers to $400 for developers and $550 for architects. Training ranges from $300 to $1,000 for self-study and as much as $3,500 for classroom-based study, according to Tittel.
Career benefit: "Getting certified helps prove you were able to take your background in C++ and marry that over to Java," Sabrin says.
Salary benefit: "You're looking at a six-figure salary, guaranteed," says Tittel. "I've heard of individuals doubling their compensation as a result of obtaining mid- or upper-level Java certifications, as compared to their precertification incomes."
Software development
• Microsoft Certified Solution Developer (MCSD)
Summary: The MCSD track tests the candidate's ability to build Web-based, distributed and commerce solutions using Microsoft Corp.'s application server, SQL Server and Visual Studio. This certification was completely redesigned in 1999, and developers who haven't taken the new exams lost certification status, according to GoCertify.com., based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
Requirements: Three core exams, which require candidates to prove their competency with solution architecture, desktop development and distributed development, and one elective exam, which requires proof of expertise with Microsoft development tools. Candidates should have substantial knowledge of Microsoft Office and BackOffice.
How long it takes to obtain: Programmers should have at least two years of experience in software analysis and design before taking the tests. Most experienced programmers pass the exam on the first try, but "even an experienced person shouldn't try to write more than one exam per month, so it could take four months" to obtain certification, says Kovatsh at techies.com.
Supply vs. demand: The population of MCSDs is small (almost 15,000 people, according to Microsoft Certified Professional Magazine). And there's a high demand for IT professionals with this certification, says Kovatsh.
Average cost: It costs about $1,600 if you self-study and $13,600 if you study in a classroom, according to Tittel at iLearning.
Career benefit: The MCSD is the No. 1 certification in Microsoft environments, and with the small population of certificate holders, it will be a standout feature on your resume, says Kovatsh.
Salary benefit: No specifics were available, but according to Kovatsh, surveys imply that there's generally a 10-percent salary increase for people with certification over others with similar experience and backgrounds.
Database
• Oracle Certified Professional
Summary: You can become certified Oracle database administrators in either Oracle7 or Oracle8.
Requirements: The database administrator certification requires five to six exams, depending on which track you choose: core path or mixed release. At least six months of on-the-job experience is necessary to pass the tests.
How long it takes to obtain: It can take 12 to 18 months for to be certified as an Oracle database administrator, says Tittel.
Supply vs. demand: Oracle is the most widely implemented database product, but demand is somewhat diminished because not many database administrators are required at each site.
Average cost: $1,140 for self-study and $7,140 to $13,800 for classroom training, according to Tittel.
Career benefit: The number of Oracle certified professionals has grown to 60,000, including Oracle Developers and Oracle Java Developers, according to Oracle Corp., so the certification is still rare enough to supply you leverage when looking for a job.
Salary benefit: According to Kovatsh, surveys imply there is generally a 10-percent salary increase for people with certification over others with similar experience.
Applications
• SAP R/3 certification
Summary: Available certifications include financials, controlling, materials management, production and production scheduling, sales-order processing, human resources, plant maintenance and service management, and application development -- ABAP Workbench, Business Workflow and Business Information Warehouse.
Requirements: Vendor-approved classroom training is encouraged to pass the exams, unless you're very experienced with SAP. The three-hour exams are held at SAP AG training centers in many parts of the United States.
How long it takes to obtain: You'd need about two years of experience in enterprise resource planning (ERP) and a working knowledge of SAP to begin the certification process, according to Tittel. Individual classes last 25 days. Assuming you were working while getting certified, it would you take one to two years.
Supply vs. demand: There are about three job openings for each certified individual.
Average cost: The test for each module is $500, and training classes cost $8,500 to $18,000.
Career benefit: It places you in the top tier of people in the ERP field.
Salary benefit: You're guaranteed a six-figure income, says Tittel.

WASHINGTON, July 27 (Reuters) - The U.S. Energy Department said on Wednesday it had closed a $102.1 million loan to Syrah Technologies LLC (SYR.AX) for expansion of a facility that produces graphite-based active anode material, a key component for lithium-ion batteries.
It was the first loan from the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing (ATVM) Loan Program finalized since 2011, and the first ATVM loan exclusively for an automotive supply chain manufacturing project. Reuters first reported the planned loan in April. read more
Australia-based Syrah plans to use the loan to expand the Louisiana plant that will process graphite mined from Mozambique into anodes, the positively charged electrode of a battery. The facility is expected to produce enough anodes for 2.3 million electric vehicles by 2040.
President Joe Biden has set a goal of 50% of U.S. auto production by 2030 being electric or plug-in electric hybrid vehicles.
On Monday, the Energy Department said it intends to loan a joint venture of General Motors Co (GM.N) and LG Energy Solution (373220.KS) $2.5 billion to help finance construction of new lithium-ion battery cell manufacturing facilities from the same ATVM program.
Republicans in Congress have been hammering the Biden administration over high gasoline prices and Democrats have focused on EVs, which currently cost more than internal combustion models.
Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said the administration has been pushing for tax credits to cut the price of EVs "so that they are affordable." She said EVs "are so much cheaper to drive and maintain."
"We do not want to see battery technology weaponized or have any constraints in the supply chain globally with countries that do not share our values," Granholm said, saying the loan program will help to further reduce battery costs.
The White House last year proposed boosting EV tax credits to up to $12,500 per vehicle and lifting the existing 200,000-vehicle $7,500 credit per manufacturer cap.
Senator Debbie Stabenow told Reuters on Tuesday that the effort to win an EV tax credit extension would not happen before Oct. 1 but vowed to keep trying.

Common short code registry Neustar Inc. is offering mobile application providers and aggregators 10 percent off purchases of 10 or more new codes through the end of the month.
There is no limit to the number of short code orders as long as a minimum of 10 codes are ordered before Aug. 31, although it does not apply to renewal orders. The customer's account will be credited no later than 30 days following the end of the program term.
"The strategy behind the promotion is trying to generate business from those customers -- application providers and aggregators -- that buy short codes on behalf of their customers as part of the mobile marketing ecosystem," said Matthew Valleskey, head of marketing for mobile services at Neustar, Sterling, VA.
"If you're Coke or Pepsi or another brand, in many cases you only need one short code, so this promotion is targeting vendors that buy codes in bulk," he said.
CTIA-The Wireless Association owns the Common Short Code Administration, and Neustar manages and operates the U.S. short codes registry on its behalf.
The CSCA's Web site lists top application providers and aggregators.
Tier-one aggregators include Air2Web, mBlox, Motricity, MX Telecom, OpenMarket, SinglePoint, Sybase 365, Upoc Networks, VeriSign and Vibes Media.
To get the word out about its promotion, Neustar sent out an email blast to selected vendors, application providers and aggregators who are current customers.
The promotion has prominent placement on the Neustar Web site. In addition, when members log into their account at the CSCA Web site, they are made aware of the promotion.
SMS marketing using a keyword-short-code call-to-action continues to grow, according to Neustar.
"Mobile marketing in general is growing -- more and more brands are looking to add mobile to their traditional marketing, and it's becoming more and more prevalent," Mr. Valleskey said. "SMS marketing is the most mature medium as far as mobile-based marketing is concerned, because its available on almost every handset out there, it doesn't require consumers to download any type of specific software and they don't have to have an Internet connection.
"Anyone can take advantage of an SMS marketing program -- SMS has the highest potential reach of any mobile marketing mediums out there," he said. "SMS has a potential reach of 270 million subscribers in the U.S., which is larger than any traditional channel out there."
Despite many successes, obstacles remain to widespread adoption of short-code-based marketing, above all time to market.
"There are obstacles to implementing an SMS program, because it's a little bit more complicated than traditional media," Mr. Valleskey said. "The ecosystem consists of app providers, aggregators that have to route traffic and get the campaign up and running on carriers' networks and the carriers themselves, so there are a few more hoops you have to jump through to get a campaign up and running.
"The time to market can be anywhere from two to eight to 12 weeks to get an SMS campaign up and running due to the provisioning time required by carriers," he said. "Neustar helps expedite that process."
New funding and executive leadership team to accelerate product innovation and investment into the open source community
SAN FRANCISCO , July 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Dgraph, the company behind the most popular open source Graph database, announced a $6 million seed re-financing round led by Venrock and Uncorrelated Ventures, with participation from Abstract Ventures, HackVC, SaxeCap, and Liquid2 Ventures. World-class executives also joined the round, including DJ Patil, former US Chief Data Scientist; Michael Callahan, founder of Awake Security; Ry Walker, founder of Astronomer; Ganesh Srinivasan, Chief Product Officer at Confluent; Chris Riccomini; and JP Patil, Head of Data at Included Health.
Dgraph's founders deeply understood distributed systems and building graph systems at scale, and saw the need to build a better graph database platform that could serve as an entire application backend. By bringing the backend into a single place and the database and service layer into a single solution, developers can use Dgraph as their backend rather than just their database.
Since its initial open source release in 2016, Dgraph has become the most popular open source Graph database on GitHub and the youngest company to be named in Forrester's Graph Data Platform landscape.
New executive team to lead product innovations and growth
Database industry veteran Akon Dey, Ph.D., recently joined as CEO bringing over two decades of experience in the database, data stream, and enterprise data systems space, including Yahoo! Inc. and Visa.
Under Dey's leadership, Dgraph will use the new funds to accelerate building go-to-market teams and initiatives to support a growing customer base, in addition to investments in product development for new use cases and applications. The team is also focused on a renewed stewardship to the Dgraph community and will introduce a new set of features to the open source project.
"Dgraph users love the horizontal scalability, high performance, flexible data model and ease of use," said Dey. "With our cloud offering we can ensure companies at any stage are able to quickly, reliably and cost effectively bring their applications to market. In addition, the Dgraph community has been a vibrant and significant contributor to the advancement and success of Dgraph. We are committed to supporting the community and looking forward to the continued collaboration".
Joining Dey on the executive team is Gajanan Chinchwadkar, Ph.D., as Chief Technology Officer, an industry veteran with more than 30 years of experience at AWS, Marklogic and Sybase in distributed database systems, multi-modal query engines and query optimization.
"What excites me about Dgraph is that GraphQL is a widely accepted language by application developers and DQL is also highly sought after by Dgraph users," said Chinchwadkar. "With our expertise in building query and search engines for a variety of data models, we will be able to build an even more performant and feature-rich query engine for Dgraph to satisfy the growing needs of modern applications."
The era of the new cloud database
According to Gartner, cloud databases now represent half of the $80B database market, growing 22% CAGR. Dgraph offers customers a general-purpose distributed cloud database that supports graph-oriented use cases and a broad set of applications. Dgraph was written in Go and is available as an Apache 2.0 licensed community edition and an enterprise offering with additional enterprise-ready capabilities.
"The rapid growth in enterprise data has led to new scale and performance needs. As a result, new database engines are emerging to meet new demands of availability, horizontal scale, and latency," said Venrock Partner Ethan Batraski. "Dgraph's approach offers a cloud native, distributed architecture to building applications at scale, with a significantly more flexible and simplified approach to managing schemas, tables, and APIs, becoming the new default choice for application engineers."
"Most graph databases today are not truly distributed: they run fine on a couple of nodes but rely on a variety of architectural hacks to run on larger numbers of nodes, and thus aren't truly scalable," said Salil Deshpande, General Partner at Uncorrelated. "There are horizontally scalable NoSQL databases with graph overlays that are not built ground-up to be graph databases, so graph-like queries did not perform well; or there are databases that are indeed graph databases but are not architected to be horizontally scalable."
Customer Quotes
"We started our Dgraph journey back in 2018 to build our event-driven microservices application by using Dgraph as our main account related database," said John Zhou, Senior Engineering Manager, Lifeline (formerly Philips Lifeline). "The overall performance of Dgraph is amazing, and their support team is really hands-on and ready to support us at any time."
"At Knights Analytics, we selected Dgraph primarily due to its focus on the fundamental technical challenges of latency, horizontal scalability, and strong consistency guarantees," said Alex Ridden, Cofounder, Knights Analytics. "Native GraphQL support has proven to be a powerful feature, allowing us to build integrations and visualizations of graph data in short timeframes. Dgraph has been a great database option for our platform, allowing us to develop functionality which would have been significantly more challenging or impossible with other databases."
About Dgraph
Dgraph is the graph database company, an open source, general purpose, distributed graph database powering high performance applications and operational needs. The only GraphQL-native graph database, Dgraph underpins the digital transformation of terabytes of data for businesses that depend on complex data structures. A vibrant open source community downloads Dgraph over 10 million+ docker-hub pulls; Dgraph is the #1 graph database on GitHub with over 18,000 stars. Dgraph's customers include companies from Fortune 500 companies as well as rapid-growth startups. Dgraph is headquartered in California's Silicon Valley.
