Median salaries for networking and data center professionals decreased in 2016, putting pressure on infrastructure roles. Staff salaries declined 4.7% to $80,000 while manager salaries fell 2% to $96,000. However, total compensation including bonuses remained flat or increased slightly. Commoditization of hardware and the focus on software skills are driving demand and pay higher for roles involving security, cloud, and development. Despite salary challenges, infrastructure professionals remain optimistic, with 9 in 10 feeling secure in their career. Acquiring new skills is seen as important for staying relevant in a changing industry.
The document discusses how companies can build a data-driven culture by engaging employees. It argues that becoming data-driven happens in three stages - focusing first on technology, then talent, and most importantly transforming the corporate culture. Two key factors are needed for cultural transformation - strong leadership from the top to establish a vision, and bottom-up employee engagement through training, incentives and making data accessible and relevant to employees' daily work. Companies that are truly data-driven report better performance, innovation, collaboration, and employee satisfaction compared to those that are not.
Etude PwC pour Linkedin sur le coût de l'inadéquation des compétences (2014)PwC France

PwC a réalisé pour LinkedIn l’étude « Adapt to Survive », qui recoupe pour la première fois certaines informations des profils des membres du réseau LinkedIn dans 11 pays et les données issues de 2600 entreprises étudiées par PwC Saratoga, l’une des principales bases de données RH au niveau mondial.
L’étude montre ainsi que la faible adaptabilité des compétences – difficulté des personnes à se former à de nouveaux savoir-faire ou à changer de secteur d’activité – coûte à l’économie mondiale 150 milliards de dollars en manque de productivité et renchérit les coûts de recrutement.
Une analyse qui permet à PwC de lancer l’Index d’Adaptabilité des Compétences, qui positionne en tête les Pays-Bas, le Royaume-Uni et le Canada. La France prend la 7ème place du classement (sur 11 pays étudiés).
IT talent is in high demand but short supply, making recruitment and retention a challenge. While most companies have not increased salaries to keep pace with the market, those that offer higher pay see benefits like reduced turnover rates and fewer open positions. One example showed a company that increased salaries by 10% experienced $800,000 in annual cost savings from lower turnover and vacancies compared to a company that did not raise pay.

The document discusses how organizations are facing challenges managing the growing amounts of data and information from various sources. This includes extracting insights from large amounts of structured and unstructured content across the enterprise. It also talks about the need to connect people and processes to improve collaboration, decision making and customer service. New approaches to enterprise information management are needed to gain control of data, drive business optimization and enable organizations to adapt quickly to changes.
The document summarizes the findings of a job search study on data protection professionals in Singapore conducted from August to September 2020. Some key findings include:
- The number of data protection job postings doubled from 2019 to 2020, reflecting growing demand. Most positions were for permanent roles.
- About half of the job postings were for mid-management positions, and the majority involved "double-hatting" data protection with other roles.
- Top sectors with data protection openings were government, healthcare, banking and business services.
- Most roles required 3-5 years of experience, indicating the field is seeking candidates with some experience.

Youth Opinions of Careers in Information Technology CompTIA
CompTIA’s Youth Opinions of Careers in Information Technology study explores what young people (ages 13-17 years) think about a job in the technology industry and the prospects of considering a career in IT.
1) There is a growing gap in capabilities and performance between companies that invest heavily in data and analytics compared to those that invest less. The capability gap is exacerbated by a shortage of analytical talent.
2) The amount of data being created is growing exponentially, estimated at 2.5 quintillion bytes per day globally. However, most organizations are not effectively using the data they already have.
3) Investing in analytics can provide significant financial benefits across industries. For example, leveraging big data in healthcare could capture $300 billion annually and increase retailers' operating margins by 60%.
Two major Fortune 500 employers have made headlines recently by announcing that they are eliminating or significantly reducing opportunities for their employees to work remotely. This new ebook authored by Linda Stuit is covering the topic of working remotely and what it means for employers and employees.
The document discusses findings from a study on Chief Information Officers (CIOs). Key findings include:
- Most CIOs are recruited externally rather than promoted internally. Internal candidates face slim chances of promotion to CIO.
- Failed IT projects and an inability to partner well with the business are the primary reasons for CIO failure. Nearly half of new CIOs inherit failing projects.
- The CIO's reporting line, whether to the CEO or CFO, influences where they focus IT's energies - on enterprise-wide value or cost reduction. Reporting to the CEO encourages a strategic focus while the CFO emphasizes costs.
- Experience in consulting or systems integration is common among CIOs
Knowing that the wages you are offering employees is
fair is intrinsic in your success. When you’re recruiting for a
new position does what you’re offering stack up with your
competitors in your own city, and what about companies
in other major Canadian cities?
It is a matter of perception; if offers are too low will strong
performers choose to work with you? If they are too high
can you afford to keep your staffing levels where they

Cognizant Making AI Real with MicrosoftSteve Lennon
1) The document discusses Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences and how combining human and artificial intelligences could lead to "hyper-intelligences."
2) It examines challenges around developing general artificial intelligence and ensuring AI is developed and applied safely, ethically and for the benefit of humanity.
3) The document outlines a partnership between Cognizant and Microsoft to jointly develop and apply cognitive services and artificial intelligence.
This document is an Economist Intelligence Unit report sponsored by Google that explores the links between cloud use, trust in cloud technology, and organizational performance based on a survey of 452 executives. The key findings are:
1) While cloud technology use is widespread, trust in cloud remains relatively low, with only 16% reporting very high trust.
2) Organizations with higher trust in cloud report much better financial and operational outcomes compared to those with lower trust, such as 9.1% profit growth vs 1%.
3) Cloud use alone does not appear to produce the same benefits as when paired with high trust; trust seems to enable organizational transformations that leverage cloud capabilities.

This document summarizes a roundtable discussion about breaking down silos between primary research and platform analytics teams within organizations. Key discussion points included that 1) traditional organizational structures designed for the industrial age are preventing companies from leveraging all of their data, 2) there is often overinvestment in technology but underinvestment in developing employee skills, and 3) creating a truly data-driven culture requires openness, collaboration, and experimentation across departments beyond just research and analytics. The roundtable participants explored how blending skills and exposing employees to different business functions can help companies overcome data silos.

Статегия agile-трансформации крупной компанииAskhat Urazbaev
Достаточно ли обойтись внедрением Agile-практик на уровне Scrum/XP или для успешной работы нужно нечто большее?
Опыт показывает, что существование в компании Agile только как методологии для команд приводит к слабому и часто кратковременному эффекту повышения производительности. Порой это дисбалансирует компанию и приводит к результатам даже хуже, чем были до внедрения Agile.
Для получения максимального результата изменения в культуре организации необходимы на всех уровнях.
Что это означает на практике и как этого добится?
В этом выступлении мы обсудим подходы проведения Agile-трансформации в больших организациях. Мы рассмотрим практики которые работают в российских корпорациях, а также типичные ловушки и грабли на которые вы можете наступить при старте изменений.

IT Department Trends: Moving Away from OutsourcingModis
After years of layoffs and hiring freezes, companies are now expanding their internal IT departments due to several factors. There is a growing need for IT talent as software is now integral to all business functions, companies are creating their own software, big data analytics is important, and mobile is a major priority. While outsourcing was once popular to access skills and reduce costs, it now has disadvantages like communication difficulties, compliance issues, and global skills shortages. For companies where outsourcing is not an option, alternatives include competing aggressively for top talent, promoting from within, and working with staffing agencies to fill skills gaps.
The document summarizes the IT employment outlook and top growth occupations for 2016. It finds that IT job growth is projected to be 4.9% worldwide and 4.7% in the US, with cybersecurity analysts, web developers, and software developers being the top growth occupations. While increased competition may exist due to growth, IT skills remain in high demand as technology becomes more integral to work and life. The highest average tech industry wages exist in California and the fastest job growth by state is in Greenville, South Carolina. There are currently over 800,000 open IT jobs in the US each attracting around 250 resumes.
The document is a report from the Economist Intelligence Unit that discusses the challenges of building a data-centric culture in organizations. It is based on a global survey of 395 executives. Some key points:
- Building the right organizational culture to realize business value from data analytics is now a priority for companies, as they have already invested in technology and talent.
- CEOs face the challenge of transforming company culture and how data is used. They must implement strategies from the top-down and engage employees.
- Successful data-driven companies are inspired by leaders who communicate a strong vision of how data can help the business and drive values like customer service. Leaders also provide expertise and education to help employees apply data.
Driving A Data-Centric Culture: The Leadership ChallengePlatfora
Embracing data as a corporate asset—and a source of competitive advantage—is not just a “good idea” that companies should consider. Such adoption will help determine the winners and losers across multiple markets and industries in the future.
In the last couple of years, corporate focus has shifted: first, from investing in the right technology and tools; then to acquiring the right talent and skills; and now to building the right organizational culture that can realize the business value of powerful big-data analytic tools.
Most organizations today are still focused on putting in place the right technology and talent, but others have evolved further and are working toward fostering a data-centric corporate culture.
Emerging opportunities in the age of dataEjaz Siddiqui
We live in a data-driven world. There are more than 4 billion people around the world using the internet.
This show an unprecedented spread and growth of digital devices. These digital devices (Mobiles, Computers, Watches, IoT etc) are the factories for creating data. It means we live in the Age of Data, and it’s expanding at astonishing rates. We may need to unplug and take a break from time to time, but data never sleeps.
This generation of huge data presents many new challenges as well as opportunities. There would be huge opportunity for the people who could collect, process, manage, drive insights and make useful decisions from this data. Certain fields are becoming very important and necessary to manage and process this data.
The document summarizes the key findings of the 2016 Harvey Nash / KPMG CIO Survey, the largest IT leadership survey worldwide. Some of the main findings include:
1) The CIO role is evolving from an "operational" to a "creative" and strategic role, with CIOs spending more time externally and influencing business strategies.
2) Operational priorities are declining in importance for CIOs as they focus more on innovation, relationships, and digital strategies.
3) Issues like the skills shortage, talent retention, and cybersecurity risks remain significant challenges for CIOs.
4) More organizations are developing digital strategies, with digital disruption coming from new products/services and
An online survey of 96 IT decision makers from large enterprises and SMBs was conducted to understand their top technology priorities for 2014. The survey found that key business priorities like improving productivity and reducing expenses were top priorities across organization sizes. Most respondents said that specific company objectives would impact IT spending in 2014. The survey also found that hybrid cloud was of high interest among large enterprises, while software defined networking remains unclear to most. Information security and choosing the right technologies were among the top challenges cited.
Estudo sobre a mudança tecnológica nas empresas, efetuado pelo famoso MIT’s Center for Digital Business (CDB) e Capgemini Consulting, onde foram inquiridos 1,559 pessoas em 106 Países, vem revelar que obstáculo s encontram as empresas na mudança para a economia digital
Embracing Digital Technology: A New Strategic ImperativeCapgemini
New research from Capgemini Consulting and MIT Sloan Management Review reveals why organizations are struggling to drive Digital Transformation and the need for C-level leadership.
The study – involving over 1,500 executives in 106 countries – reveals that while the potential opportunity of Digital Transformation is absolutely clear, the journey to get there is not.
As demand for digital talent reaches a crescendo, CIOs are increasingly embracing an Uber-like approach to filling key technical roles throughout their organizations.
The document summarizes the findings of a survey about digital transformation priorities and objectives for businesses. The survey found that digital transformation is the top strategic priority for most companies and the pace of change is accelerating. Companies see digital disruption as an opportunity for competitive advantage. Improving the customer experience is the most common customer-focused objective for digital transformation initiatives in 2016. While companies are generally confident in meeting their 2016 objectives, the survey identified that increasing senior leadership sponsorship and oversight is the greatest change needed for many companies to succeed.
This document summarizes findings from a study of over 12,000 C-suite executives from around the world. It finds that industry incumbents, rather than new entrants, are now seen as the leading drivers of disruption in most industries. While some predicted widespread disruption from digital technologies, the C-suites report more stability and less urgency to transform. The document identifies three archetypes of organizations - Reinventors, Practitioners, and Aspirations - based on their stage of digital reinvention. Reinventors are outperforming peers and see opportunities in ecosystems and partnerships. Many organizations are looking to platform business models. Disruption is ongoing but incumbents have strengthened their ability to transform themselves.

SUMMARY
Demand for technology professionals is at record levels, but that opportunity is bypassing
many who work in the field of infrastructure. The trend toward technologies like cloud, soft-
ware-defined and converged infrastructure is commoditizing roles for those who work with
hardware and trickling down into their pay.
In fact, according to the InformationWeek US IT Salary Survey, median salaries for networking
and data center professionals are actually decreasing. Staff-level employees reported median
annual base salaries at $80,000, for a significant 4.7% decrease compared to our last survey in
2014. Infrastructure managers fared better, reporting median annual base salaries of $96,000,
for a 2% decline in the past two years.
Respondents recognized the effects of a changing industry and emphasized a growing need
for education. When asked what specific skills they planned to learn in 2016, 52% of staff-level
respondents and 48% of managers chose security as their number one priority. Staff-level em-
ployees also cited network engineering and operations (36%), cloud integration (28%), wire-
less (20%), and data storage (19%). Those at the management level chose leadership skills
(37%), project management (31%), cloud integration (30%), and business skills (21%).
Despite the challenges facing today’s infrastructure professionals, they remained optimistic.
Nine out of 10 respondents said they feel a career in IT is as secure or more secure than most
other careers, and 71% of managers and 61% of staff reported they are satisfied or very satis-
fied by all aspects of their job.
In this report, we examine the transitions taking place in IT infrastructure and how they affect
those working in networking and data center environments. We’ll explore how infrastructure
pros are currently spending their time, how that meshes with technology trends reshaping IT,
and how acquiring new skills can help them stay relevant.

Survey Name 2016 IT Infrastructure Salary Survey
Survey Date April 2016
Region North America
Number of Respondents 450 networking and data center management professionals,
comprised of 248 staff-level and 202 management-level job functions
Purpose To track IT salary and compensation trends among IT infrastructure professionals,
and to measure various aspects of compensation, benefits and job satisfaction.
Methodology The survey was designed by Network Computing and fielded online. Email
invitations with an embedded link to the survey were sent to qualified IT professionals from
UBM databases in late 2015 and early 2016. Unemployed and part-time workers were exclud-
ed from these results, as were respondents from outside the United States. Median calcula-
tions, rather than mean or average figures, are used for salary, salary changes, and other areas
to eliminate distortions caused by extremes at the high and low ends of responses.

scream of unending opportunity, encouraging
anyone with a laptop to learn to code. Software
startups are offering juicy perks like sign-on
bonuses, gourmet lunches, and gym member-
ships to attract developers and sometimes en-
tire development teams.
At the same time, commoditization is rearing
its head in on the operations side of the house.
The new professional ideal is the“full-stack en-
gineer,” one who is adept at everything from
racking and stacking to automation scripting.
The value placed on software skills and the
trend toward technologies like cloud, soft-
ware-defined, and converged infrastructure
has been pushing focus away from hardware,
and infrastructure pros can now feel the ef-
fects where it hurts — in their paychecks.
This year’s InformationWeek US IT Salary
Survey found that median salaries for net-
working and data center professionals actu-
ally decreased this year, after seeing small
gains in our 2014 survey. We polled 450 in-
frastructure-oriented IT pros with an average
of 20 years of experience working in IT across
varying company sizes and industries. Our
largest vertical segments were healthcare at
9%, followed by financial services, consult-
ing, education, and government — all at 8%.
Thirty-eight percent of respondents work in
organizations with operating budgets between
$1millionand$50million,but9%havebudgets
over $10 billion. A large percentage of respon-
dents hold degrees at the bachelor’s level or
higher, totaling 62% for staff and 70% for man-
agement. Sadly, an overwhelming 91% of our
survey takers were male and only 9% female.

2016 IT Infrastructure Salary Survey
Salary Slump
When it comes to compensation, staff-level
employees reported median annual base sala-
ries at $80,000, for a significant 4.7% decrease,
compared to our results in 2014. Infrastruc-
ture managers fared better, reporting median
annual base salaries of $96,000, for a 2% de-
cline in the past two years. (See Figure 1.)That
comes on the heels of several years with small
increments of growth for staff positions and
flat salaries for managers as the US economy
began recovering in 2010 from the Great Re-
cession.
The picture is not completely dreary, how-
ever. Our survey found that when you add bo-
nuses and perks to the mix, overall compensa-
tionatleastremainedlevelwithourlastreport.
Total compensation for staff members in 2016
was exactly flat at $88,000, and total comp for
managers increased 1.9% to $106,000. (See
Figure 2.) The greatest number of bonuses
were based on personal performance (53%),
corporate performance (35%), and company
profit sharing (22%).
Many companies are looking at more cre-
ative ways to keep employees happy, noted
survey respondent Jonathan Harris, network
engineer at Northwest Pipe Company. “There
seems to be greater focus on leveraging ben-
efits to keep employees and draw talent to
organizations. Two examples I have seen re-
cently are expanded maternity leave and in-
creased medical coverage,” he said. “There is
even a company in North Carolina that is giv-
ing a Tesla Model 3 to employees.”
What else is causing salary stagnation? On
a macro level, fewer new jobs are being cre-
ated in infrastructure roles than in other ar-
eas of IT. According to the Bureau of Labor
reports

Previous Next Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook,
2016-17 Edition, average growth for the
number of job titles it tracks for the period
between 2014 and 2024 will be 7%. The BLS
expects network and system administration
positions to increase by 8%, just a tad higher
than average. In contrast, software develop-
ment jobs are projected to grow by 17%, in-
formation security by 18%, and data research
analysts by a whopping 30%.
It comes down to simple supply and de-
mand. “Job roles requiring experience with
specific tools and architectures that are in low
supply but [in] high demand are seeing sal-
ary increases,” said a senior project manager
at a major technology firm. “Cloud, mobile,
DevOps, and security are generating the new
job opportunities in IT.” An IT manager who
took the survey agreed, saying that his orga-
nization is rewarding security specialists and
developers with higher salaries and bonuses,
while roles like server administrators get small
increases if any.

2016 IT Infrastructure Salary Survey
sys admins will grow as businesses invest in
“newer, faster technology and mobile net-
works,”an increase in cloud computing could
raise productivity — especially in the case of
networking professionals. The resulting land-
scape would require fewer of them to do the
same amount of work.
Our survey results illustrate that dynamic in
some respect, although it’s clear that the is-
sues are complex, with many interdependen-
cies. When asked how newer technologies and
trends are affecting their workloads, infrastruc-
ture pros agreed that they have less work as a
result of virtualization (chosen by 43%), consol-
idation (31%), converged infrastructure (23%),
and cloud computing (22%). (See Figure 3.)
Yet even larger percentages said they have
more work because of cloud computing and
converged infrastructure, the choice of 34%
and 28% of respondents, respectively. Many
other technologies that we think of as saving
work, such as software-defined networking,
are creating as much work as they save, if not
more, according to our respondents. That may
reflect the complexity of integrating these new
initiatives with existing infrastructure, or be-
cause new skills must be acquired to manage
software-oriented and hybrid environments.
Traditional Tasks Losing Value
Despite all the advancements taking place
in data center and networking technology,
our survey showed that more traditional tasks
are eating up a large part of infrastructure
professionals’ time on a daily basis. Although
there is a lot of talk in the industry about
“moving up the stack,” three quarters of our

respondents identified “managing network
and systems infrastructure” as the skill most
critical to their jobs.
Ensuring the corporate network is up and
running is an ongoing challenge that shows
no signs of abating, even as programmatic net-
works and automation creep into the picture.
The networking professionals in our survey
in both management and staff positions are
mired in maintenance tasks rather than higher
level duties. In a typical workweek, they re-
ported spending the largest part of their time
on network troubleshooting (the answer of
23%), followed by network monitoring (22%),
and network security (19%). Network design
was cited by 14%, and deploying new network
services came in at only 8%. (See Figure 4.)
Those working in the data center gave more
varying responses, perhaps due to the matu-
rity of virtualization and an increased ability to
manage workloads in that environment. Data
center professionals reported spending the
most time on systems management (chosen
by 31%), troubleshooting (21%), and systems
monitoring (20%).While data center managers
also said they were devoting the most time
to systems management, at 28%, they spend

significant time on tasks at a more strategic lev-
el, including personnel management (26%) and
planning new services (25%). (See Figure 5.)
Even accounting for those small variations, IT
pros responding to our survey are experienc-
ing salary decreases across the board. Harris
explained the dynamic he is witnessing:“Tech-
nology growth in areas like security, cloud, and
converged infrastructures make the network
admins and support techs of the past a com-
modity,” he said. “There is an abundance of ‘IT
professionals’out there, but companies are dis-
cerning their skills and paying them according-
ly. The key players are the people correlating
with the business and designing the solutions
— the architects and analysts. I feel like that’s
where the greater salaries are going.”
Nancy Jones, a system administrator at Vec-
trus, agreed on the declining value of traditional
IT roles.“The value of the seasoned veteran data
center administrator seems to be decreasing,”
she said. She also noted that the aging IT pop-
ulation is causing “job creep” in which experi-
enced employees are replaced with entry-level
new hires or not replaced at all, their duties sim-
ply absorbed by the rest of the team.

Previous Next titles reported an average of 20 years of IT ex-
perience. And many have quite a history with
their companies. The amount of time at their
current employer was a median of nine years
for staff and 11 years for managers. A large
majority have worked for only one or two dif-
ferent companies in the past 10 years — 74%
for staff and 83% for management.
Training Is Essential
While longevity may not equate to compla-
cency,it’salwaysbeenarequirementforITpros

be accelerated now as the industry undergoes
dramatic change. Don West, infrastructure lab
manager at Systems Made Simple, pointed to
cloud computing as the driver for that need.“If
‘old school’ infrastructure folks do not update
their skills to the cloud skills that many com-
panies are looking for, they are going to find
themselves antiquated,”he predicted.

at the management level chose leadership
skills (37%), project management (31%), cloud
integration (30%), and business skills (21%). In
follow-up interviews, respondents also speci-
fied they’d like more training in Amazon Web
Services, Microsoft Azure, and agile project
management. (See Figure 7.)
When it comes to the type of training re-
spondents would like, the more technical the
better. Seventy-seven percent of staff and
63% of managers chose technology-specific
training as most desirable, followed by certi-
fication courses at 61% for staff and 34% for
managers. (See Figure 6.) Harris also pointed
out the value of independent, technology-
based training. “Vendor-specific training and
certifications hold less value than training that
gives me working knowledge of the underly-
ing technologies and how they interact,” he
said.“I wear many different hats. If I spend too
much time and money learning how to work
on one specific vendor’s system, something
else will get neglected.”
Seven in 10 respondents reported attend-
ing company-paid training or certification
courses in the preceding 12 months. However,
approximately 30% paid for training them-
selves, and 30% received no additional skills
training at all. Fortunately, free training options
exist for those will small budgets. West ex-
plained that the growing demand for program-
ming skills has led him to seek free education in
that area. “It is for that reason I have been tak-
ing Massive Open Online Courses from Cours-
era and EDx, as well as leveraging vendor train-
ing webinars or hands-on labs,”he said.
Jones observed a reduction in employ-
er-funded training as well. “It’s hard to get
companies to foot the bill for training and

education for techies. I’m trying to start a lo-
cal professional development group so we
can share knowledge and get experience that
helps advance our careers,” she said. She not-
ed that businesses will reason that they don’t
want to pay to train employees who may then
leave to work someplace else, but she opined,
“That sounds like a lot of fried chicken.”
Job Satisfaction and Security
Despite the challenges of the industry, 89%
of respondents said they feel a career in IT is as
secure or more secure than most other careers.
And a majority said they feel a career path in IT
and the potential for salary advancement are
as promising today as five years ago — 50% for
staff and 57% for management. (See Figure 9.)
Overall job satisfaction rates were equally
optimistic and have risen slightly since our last
survey in 2014. Seventy-one percent of man-
agers and 61% of staff were satisfied or very
satisfied by all aspects of their job, including
compensation, benefits, and other factors.
In contrast, only 8% of managers and 15% of
staff said they were dissatisfied or very dissat-
isfied. To underline that point, a mere 10% of
respondents related they are actively looking
for a new job with a different employer. (See
Figure 8.)
Of course, a happy and productive work
environment is the result of a combination
of many factors. When asked, “What mat-
ters most to you about your job?” the num-
ber one response, predictably, was base pay.
Ranked almost as high was company stability,
followed by having one’s opinion and knowl-
edge valued, benefits, challenge of the job,
job atmosphere, and flexible work schedule.
Said one respondent, “There are lots of new
opportunities in IT even if the salary is not go-
ing up. Once you get to a certain point, money
only goes so far.”

2016 IT Infrastructure Salary Survey
Conclusion
IT has always been a demanding career,
requiring constant education and a list of
certifications for those wanting to truly excel.
However, new market dynamics focused on
applications and services could be challeng-
ing the wisdom of deep specialization, espe-
cially for those working in networking and
data centers. The answer is clearly additional
training and education, but becoming a full
stack engineer is not a realistic goal for many,
nor does it fit within the traditional IT depart-
ments our survey respondents inhabit.
To remain relevant, infrastructure profession-
als must understand exactly how they contrib-
ute to their organizations’ success and how
they can make even more of an impact. Com-
panies are transforming to leverage newer and
better technology and need staff who can
recommend platforms and products that can
achieve their business goals. Perhaps an orga-
nization needs faster production times, better
customer data, or a more efficient salesforce.
Technology is the key to solving these prob-
lems, and technologists who contribute to
the strategic as well as the technical discus-
sion will likely find continued success.
