The IT industry lacks core skills
The lack of core IT skills is a major impediment to modernizing key IT assets, according reports by an application-management company. According to the survey, there is an acute shortage of IT skills across Europe and the US, even though such skills are core assets needed during a recession.
It is anticipated that this is because businesses are now focusing on newer areas such as web 2.0, without realizing that the skills to support core infrastructure are not present; and newer technologies cannot succeed unless they are supported by the core infrastructure. While some 60 per cent of the results prove that core systems and databases are business-critical, 56 per cent of the criteria confirms that newer, web-based technologies are the skills currently being recruited for the most.
