The Lithuanian labour market each year the lack of 500-1000 smart technologies managing professionals, however, this area of science future students still prefer a slow process. Why information technology professionals is the lack of harmful not only for individual enterprises in Lithuania, but and transparent economic prospects?
Not stopping at where profitable
Ministry of education and science of data, the last year information technology (IT) took the 6th place among the first priority of the students in the study programmes. The first places among the university's study rikiavosi medicine, law, dentistry and economics.

However, such technologies do not arise from nowhere, the need of qualified professionals who build and maintain,“ says A. Vainoras.
Technology – the shadow of the enemy?

One of the main IT values in the public sector, according to the specialist, is neapskaitytų economic performance reduction, the application of automated systems. This is proof this year, the State tax inspectorate initiated by Smart tax administration system (i.MAS) installation. Automated information technology-based system focuses on the difference between the theoretical amount of VAT actually paid on the VAT gap reduction. Currently neapskaitytos economic magnitude of Lithuania seeks to 26-33% of gdp. gross domestic product (GDP), tax revenues-to-GDP ratio is one of the lowest in the European Union.
It is up to the taxation?
However, the expert stresses that the state should take care not only of effective business taxation, however, and their functions in the optimization. "Public authorities skaitmenizavimas, commissioning of the work of sophisticated IT systems and ensuring transparency, would help to limit the bureaucratic apparatus and of the efficient use of skilled professionals work," says the "Added Value" of the leader.
Significant influence on the GDP growth has foreign investments, which attracts the country working professional in the IT professionals. In 2014 Lithuania in the world took 16th place in accordance with IT skills. 13 of the 20 largest IT companies in the Baltic countries, such as Barclays, Nasdaq, "Bentley Systems", was located exactly in Lithuania.
