Creating the IT Profession

Creating the IT Profession - Picture of man completing jigsaw puzzle
 

IT has moved from providing technical solutions to powering business.

IT is now a business focussed profession, partnering with business to maximise the exploitation of information technology and since 2005 BCS has been leading a professionalism Programme for IT.

BCS is working to establish the IT profession on a par with others, such as HR, Marketing and Finance, and for the profession to be recognised as integral to business and seen as more than just a service provider.

The IT profession is as much about Information as about Technology and must be seen - and see itself - as an integral part of the business.
