state of the [IT] unionbluewolf co-founder and ceo, michael kirven, looks back on 2010 and ahead to 2011
“2011 is the time for CIOs to innovate and position themselves for the future
“
interviewwith michael kirven.
a record year2010 was a record year for Bluewolf, both in revenue and new customer acquisitions. Great
for Bluewolf, right? Well, yes, we like that, but it’s more than just what’s happening at Bluewolf.
Beyond our walls, it’s an optimistic indicator for the entire IT industry.
The recession from 2008 to 2009 pent-up demand for IT investments and services. In the
panic, tech spending budgets were frozen. But Bluewolf, born during the dot-com bust a
decade ago, knows firsthand that a recession necessitates more innovation, not less. Tech
spending is imperative for an organization’s long-term growth.
So with 2010 came the inevitable need to thaw the frozen IT budget. Shrewdly, companies
are now modernizing their IT departments through a tremendous escalation in capital
expenditures, including hardware, software and staffing investments.
interviewwith michael kirven.
Furthermore, this march towards modernization is strategic in nature—not one-off, tactical
IT upgrades, but a true desire to align IT with the business.
CIOs today are in transition. 2010 was for playing catch-up from the spending freeze. 2011 is
the time for CIOs to innovate and position themselves for the future. It’s time to look beyond
cost-cutting measures and recognize the need for value-adding productivity. Shift from
managing resources to managing results.
putting capital to workAs part of the enormous increase in 2011 capital expenditures is a huge influx of venture
capital cash. And these VC firms are hungry to put their money to work.
The increase of capital in today’s market is fueling the next wave of entrepreneurism. These
entrepreneurial endeavors are proliferating the demand for “hot” technologies like Flash,
Flex, PHP, Amazon Web Services and Salesforce.com.
With Fortune 2000 companies competing against the onslaught of start-ups for a smaller
pool of technical resources, it’s great news for technologists—it drives up salaries.
The hunger for mobile “apps” is creating a frenzy for contractors with skillsets
in Google’s Android and Apple’s iPhone and iPad platforms. (Demand for
Android developers increased 710% in 2010*.) As they mature into the B2B space
in 2011, a scarcity of Android developers (usually with backgrounds in server side
development, specifically Java will drive competition for resources and drive up
salaries for developers.
There is an interesting dynamic in the on-premise software space, as evidenced
by the recent acquisition of ATG by Oracle. This is further validation that
on-premise infrastructure still dominates the IT landscape. But Oracle, SAP and
Microsoft all recognize that the future is in the Cloud.
* Brown, Steven E.F. (2010, November 8). Android demand drives up contract hiring 121%.

exerpt from IT metrics: IT spending and staffing report, 2010
“As we have seen in previous figures, the IT staff typically represents more than one-third of
the overall IT investment, which demonstrates the considerable human component of the
IT portfolio. As such, it is critical for organizations to understand whether they are staffed
adequately, whether their human resources are effective, and whether they are sufficiently
trained and motivated to meet changing business needs.“
