Demand for IT Managers
Park City,
UT -
Victor Janulaitis, CEO of Janco Associates
(www.e-janco.com) today announced results of its mid-year 2004 IT Salary Survey
and Janco’s 1996 to 2004 Comparative IT Salary Survey. At the same time Janco
announced the release of its new on-line survey instrument located at
http://e-janco.com/takesurvey.htm
.
In Janco’s January Compensation Survey data
showed an increase in compensation for CIO’s. In the mid-year update there has
been an increase in the compensation to the CIO’s direct reports. Demand and
compensation for IT professionals is now starting to increase in unison. Mr.
Janulaitis said, “The greatest demand for IT professionals is in internet
followed by re-hiring of infrastructure positions that were eliminated in the
recession.”
- The mean total compensation for all
positions surveyed has remained the same for the last six months. In
mid-sized enterprises the mean total compensation has moved down to $75,345
from $76,003 in the last quarter of 2003. However in large enterprises the
median compensation has moved up from $79,338 in December 2003 to $79,753 in
June 2004.
- Organizations that had eliminated training,
planning and infrastructure positions, such as change control, are in the
process of limited re-staffing in those areas.
- Demand is high for direct reports to the CIO
and in the internet and network areas of e-commerce, voice/wireless
communication, object programming, data security and data warehousing as
enterprisers begin to prepare for the next wave of new activity.
- Voice/wireless communication and security
positions have been upgraded within many enterprises. Where these positions
were lower to mid level positions before 2000, in 2004 and beyond these
positions are now mid level to being direct reports to the CIO..
