what is wrong with this picture
I disagree with Gartner's perspective that companies refrain from solely hiring technical people for IT.In my opinion, problem is that companies try to save $'s by hiring IT staff that are either unqualified or poorly qualified. How many do they hire that lack a university degree in computer engineering or computer science, and settle instead for some questionable certificate?
Same applies to major consulting firms that publish these articles authored by people at times who likewise lack a university degree in computer engineering or computer science.
Big surprise that these IT departments can't deliver when their ranks are filled with people that can't program their way out of a paper bag!
