IT staff – the best of the best

Looking for IT staff support engineers and development staff?
Technology curve leader and developmental leader in technological advancement and support for ON -LINE, Back -office and business is a game you will play with lots of agencies when you are looking for the perfect member of staff, but do they really know what they are doing? are they really finding you the right solution?

But the big question is do you really need the staff? Millions of pounds of profits and time is wasted in unneeded staff to fill roles that are not needed. Despite what you have been told or believe, you will find that your role and search for the right person for the right job or that professional who can offer you  key advantage over other businesses in a dog eat dog world is both unfounded and unneeded as many roles are obsolete and far past there use by date.

Rory Witham is a leading IT expert professional and is a understated genius of It system and business development who has been head hunted by companies  who look in the right places. Rory’s story begins with a interesting history of web development, I do not mean websites but in the transmission of data across communication lines such as the world wide web, Internet super highway and this was at the age of 8.  AS you can imagine the Internet wasn’t around and was hidden away in the back offices of America and was nothing like the Internet that we have now.
Needless to say that Rory  leads the world in technology and development where the world plays follow up on average 7 years after. You could say he is at the forefront of technologies that make  most (if not all) other IT companies look backwards and retarded. Lets have a look at Rory’s accomplishments  in a chart compared with the rest of the world.

The backup joke

While reading around at jobs for IT Backup, Storage, Infrastructure Engineers who are paid in excess of £35,000 I find this backward job roll  and I must say it was very entertaining, it lacks motive and innovation for the solution.

One of the clear problems that come with this role and what makes it so funny is that the job role is obsolete and has been for many years.  The role of the ‘job’ is  is simple and it would sound like the person posting the job has very little intelligence as much as the company requiring such a person for a phantom role within there company.
I would think the the internal IT team or external team are creating the job as they are not innovative and stuck in a rutt, But we can see the Cost being less that the employers national insurance contributations for finance this role.

ICT and Your Business

IT infrastructure maintenance and supportWith the advancements in information Communications technology (ICT), businesses are becoming increasingly dependent on the services that  it provides in the day to day running of their businesses;  from instant communication and Email to storing customer data on computer systems and video conference calling as well as Ecommerc  on-line. IT has become an integrated part of the business into day modern office.

Businesses want to compete in what is a cut-throat and light-speed world, it is essential they harness the power of such technology. Not only does it offer an effective method of conducting business, but if used intelligently, IT also allows companies to stay flexible and thus meet the changing demands of consumers more efficiently.

Although IT can provide many benefits, if it’s not managed correctly, it can cause untold damage. For example; if your server crashes, resulting in a  loss of your client database or your website going out of action, it  may cause an adverse affect, causing you to lose customers or sensitive company data. Not dealing effectively with your IT operations could cost your business not only financially, but also in customer loyalty. And, because the IT marketplace is so specialised, it is definitely worthwhile investing in someone who can offer your business expert knowledge and a tailored advice to meet your growing business needs.
