IT Industry Health Check

The IT industry is looking pretty rosy, if results from our annual Recruitment and Retention report are anything to go by. For the last 5 years, we have asked respondents to indicate how strongly they agree or disagree with 5 statements:

• We can see that for the next 3 years demand for IT services and products will remain strong
• IT is meeting business demands and driving business improvement
• IT budgets are increasing as a % of company revenue
• The supply of IT talent is aligned to the demand for it
• The industry has a reputation for delivering value and results, on time and on budget

The index is currently at its all time highest level, reflecting the gradually improving reputation of the industry following the reputational disasters of Y2K and dotcom.
