It’s not a secret for anyone, we are clearly facing a critical situation when it comes to skilled labor in the IT industry. Consequently, according to Gartner, it reveals talent shortages are the biggest barrier to emerging technologies adoption. Therefore, we all know that implementing technology initiatives within an organization can have a positive impact on operations and help with the labor shortage. So, if we don’t have an internal skilled expert to manage IT projects, what are our options?
Well, this is where the concept of “Managed Services” comes into play and can bring significant added value to our customers as:
- Increase employee productivity by providing specific knowledge and expertise
- Increase Flexibility and Agility
- Improve Operational Efficiencies
- Improve Security (avoid cyber-attacks that can cost M$ to organizations)
As per Gartner, studies show that partnering with a specialized firm in “managed services” will accelerate your time-to-market by 46.9%, as your organization can concentrate on global and strategic initiatives. Those statistics reflect the reality we have with our customers in Canada, as they want to leverage outsourcing expertise and align with their IT projects roadmap.
Plus, finances are a critical aspect to consider when it comes to the labor shortage. According to Auxis, the IT job market experienced growth unlike any other industry in 2022, driving record average salary increases of 9.5% (ex: average annual salary for a DBA: 111k). As well, turnover in tech roles is a real concern and it reaches 13.5% in 2022, the highest of any industry. So, having a clear understanding of the IT salary and hiring trends, it will help CIOs and CTOs think strategically about how they will redefine their partnership relationship, with external specialized firms, to address their challenges and meet their strategic objectives.
Finally, according to SkyQuest Technology Consulting, the managed services market is expected to continue to grow at a rapid pace in the coming years (12.6%/year for the next 5 years), to mainly assure peace of mind, knowing that there is someone who is proactively monitoring and managing their IT infrastructure.
