Re: Whatever happened to the critical IT skills shortage holding back the economy?
"...really envisage hordes of code monkeys being required, but no Infrastructure Technicians..."
That'll be the DevOps movement to replace all infrastructure with code then? Just kidding, anyone want to bet a pint that a GBS 'resource action' will be announced shortly too, probably January?
Basically, there are so many monster outsourcing deals set to finish at year end and some customers may be choosing to break up and even 'in source' IT back in-house again, after realizing over the last decade that IT is actually a critical dependency for most modern businesses and therefore they should never completely trust all their business systems and applications in the hands of external service providers.
Sad for all those families out there wondering if the statutory minimum will keep them going until a suitable new job becomes available.
