Though the IT skills counts a lot in official usage and more precisely when we induct candidates for account or general department we do consider the individual experience in Oracle as we are using ERP. Additionally, the usage of Excel is at high level in F&A, HR and Marketing and Sales division because all of them export data from software into excel and then compile various sales and trend analysis which required fair experience of formulae, pivot tools and if conditions. The usage of PowerPoint is very common in HR & Marketing department as they need to present slides to top management.
