Peddling the IT Skills Cycle: How to Get Off? - Computer Business Review
[05-06-2009]
This article by Morse's Mike Devlin covers the effects on businesses of the ongoing cycle of IT skills availability. Thanks to varying demand for different IT skills, businesses can often find themselves lacking in key areas, or over-paying for skilled personnel in an attmept to compensate. One solution to this ongoing problem is to employ Flexible Resourcing, where the organisation's own workers are supplemented by skilled personnel supplied by a third party as needed.
"The IT skills cycle on its own can be a thorn in the side of businesses. When combined with the present recession and the need to swiftly implement IT projects, it becomes a spear. Organisations are constantly investigating ways to reduce the impact of factors such as software development and technology life cycles on the IT department: why should skills be any different? By implementing an intelligent flexible resourcing system, businesses can ensure that they constantly have the right skills at the right time: no more, no less."
