Your Areas of Expertise
Understanding that current job responsibilities aren't necessarily reflective of an enterprise IT professional's full complement of skills, we asked respondents the question, "In which technology/technologies do you have direct experience, training, and/or specialization?" Among the IT professionals with communications-related primary job roles who responded to this question, nearly three-quarters (72%) named "telecom/communications" -- no surprise there. More surprising, however, is that 45% of those respondents with primary job responsibilities not directly involved in communications also said they have experience, training, or specialization in telecom/communications.
Among our communications-oriented respondents, IP networking and video conferencing round out the top three areas of expertise, as shown above. One-third of these respondents indicated they are knowledgeable in audio/visual systems and datacenter management/networking, while 28% have some experience in mobility and application development. One-quarter of respondents are versed in IT security.
