Abstract
This IDC Perspective discusses the case for leveraging IT assessment and certifications for the development and selection of IT employees. Digital transformation is ushering in a new era of digitally enabled customer-facing products, services, and experiences in an environment of rapid change and uncertainty. And, by the end of 2019, the heavy workload demands of next-generation applications and new IT architectures in critical business facilities will force more than half of enterprises to modernize their IT landscape. CIOs face two essential talent imperatives with digital transformation (DX) — ensuring that their IT teams have the right people and that their teams have the right skills. By leveraging skill assessments and IT certifications, CIOs can improve their DX success.
"Well-trained IT teams meet business and project milestones far more often than average skilled teams. Leveraging assessment tools, including certifications, can help IT organizations identify skilled IT professionals and maximize DX success." — Cushing Anderson, program vice president, IT Education and Certification research
