IT Contractor Introduction

An IT contractor by design, is a person who can enter a client's site and very quickly become the expert within that entity, It is a requirement that we become the most knowledgeable person within that particular infrastructure or our clients would benifit more by training up an FTE.

In the words of Albert Einstien:

When asked for his telephone number, he walked over to a telephone directory, and looked it up saying to a rather surprised onlooker " An intelligent man is not a man who can store information, but a man who knows how to find it".

With experience we IT Contractors understand better than anyone how technology and heterogeneous environments communicate, and knowing how to find information makes us experts in our chosen fields.

This allows us to be the greatest benifit to our clients. I hope you enjoy this site.

The Disconnection Between Business and IT

Written by David Noel-Davies
Monday, 28 May 2007
The disconnect between business and IT is often lamented. A lot is spoken and written about this chasm. Ostensibly, a lot is done to bridge it. Most would agree with me that still it exists. Conventional wisdom has it that the root cause of this problem is that business and IT do not understand each other. Business does not understand what IT can do and IT does not get what the business wants done
