August 10, 2006 Is There A Career Future In Enterprise IT?Yes, But It Has Multiple Paths And De-Emphasizes Technologyby Laurie M. Orlov, Samuel Bright with Lauren Sessions |

This is an excerpt
Are traditional career paths for enterprise IT professionals still feasible in the face of outsourcing, offshoring, and downsizing? Forrester interviewed 55 IT and expert executives to learn their views. The result? Enterprise IT execs are optimistic but not proactive in reinforcing the attractiveness of an IT career. But enterprise IT is as attractive as it has ever been, taking on a less technical and more business-focused shape. The new IT career paths meander into and out of IT. Entrances and exits to and from business groups and ecosystem partners are not only possible but accepted and routine. These IT paths span IT sourcing, architecture, management, and innovation. IT executives must step up to reinvigorate the IT career, getting it done with the help of consortia, partners, and universities.
