ICT Hangout First Blog



OK ! Here is my first blog then.

And as it is my first blog, please excuse all the formatting, grammar, etc. etc.

Just a bit of background:  I have been working in IT since 2005. I work as a freelance Senior IT contractor and have worked for SME’s, Pubic Sector, Private Sector, a University, a Global Automotive company. I get a kick out of if someone can do better in their life or work, like, either a help-desk technician making a jump to the next level with my advice and doubling their salary from 20K to 40K or an IT Director being able to save a million pound and make the right decision with the information and facts that I provide him with individually or as a part of the team.

I come across various issues and shortcomings in the way whole IT is run, like, the way junior IT staff is trained or well not trained, limited information that organizations have to make decisions to implement their key systems, some global software companies not being able to help implementing their own products, conflict between the server and development team etc etc. and the list goes on.

What I aim to do at this blog is (which I have decided to call ICT hangout), I aim this to be a useful resource for students who are studying IT, so that they can choose the right career path. A good resource for people already in the IT industry so that they can make the right decisions, a good resource for IT directors so that they can make better decisions for the team, organization and the individuals. As I am a contractor and move from one to company to the other quite frequency (well after a year or two) I come across a lot of people who really know their stuff very well and I would certainly be convincing some of them to write blogs on here for the betterment of the IT community as a whole !

I anyone with the right experience and ideas would like to write on this blog please get in touch through the blog with me.

See you all with the next blog soon!!
