Closing The IT Network Skills Gap- How managers can understand and prepare for new networking skill requirements

Forrester Consulting, June, 2008

"As the sophistication of the network increases, however, the skills requirements for network professionals will also increase. Traditional positions within the network - such as network architects, engineers, and administrators - require employees with more specialized skills and greater levels of experience. At the same time, new job skills related to security, voice, wireless, and remote office work are becoming critical to the functionality of the network. What should IT managers do? They need to hire, train, and ramp dedicated professionals. In this rapidly changing network environment, network education, skills assessment tools, and training and certification programs are required."
