Top IT Departments Pay More

Many who read my previous posts that say we should pay really good BI developers and analysts more money, understandably had a common response: "Sounds good, but how do I know it will work and how do I convince my boss that it is the right thing to do."

One item for you to use as evidence: According to Intelligent Enterprise, "While the top IT organizations have 24% fewer full-time employees than median organizations, those smaller staffs are generally paid about 24% more than IT professionals at the other companies, says Holland. "

Look at the article -- it is a good one. These "Top" companies pay the good ones more and lose the bad ones. And they are better for it. Not a bad strategy.
