8. Changes
 July 17, 2006 (Computerworld) –
 The most sought-after corporate IT workers in 2010 may
be those with no deep-seated technical skills at all
 The nuts-and-bolts programming and easy-to-document
support jobs will have all gone to third-party providers in
the U.S. or abroad.
 Instead, IT departments will be populated with
"versatilists” those with a technology background who
also know the business sector inside and out, can
architect and carry out IT plans that will add business
value, and can cultivate relationships both inside and
outside the company.
