SolarWinds survey reveals depth of IT pro responsibilities in the enterprise
SolarWinds has announced the findings of its Little-Known
Facts survey, which reveal that IT professionals tend to go
above and beyond the scope of their core responsibilities
as the changing business landscape demands more of their
attention, both inside and outside of the office.
The survey coincided with IT Professionals Day, which is
observed on the third Tuesday of every September (September
19, 2017), to emphasise the need for greater appreciation for IT
professionals and the critical role they play in modern business
and the lives of nearly all technology end-users.
Joseph Kim, senior vice president and chief technology
officer at SolarWinds, said, ‘Without a doubt, today’s IT
professionals are the backbone of the modern enterprise.
‘By understanding and knowing our own IT professionals,
we can better appreciate them.’
Joseph added, ‘In 2016, we found that IT is everywhere,
and end-users were expanding IT beyond the traditional four
walls of their organisations. This required IT professionals
to adopt an ‘always-on’ mentality; this year’s key findings
highlight that the trend continues, with IT pros per forming
their core IT responsibilities, in addition to dedicating time to
educate end-users and business leaders, problem-solving
for senior executives, and keeping their organisations secure
from the threat of security breaches.’
