More than ever before, decision-makers at all levels rely on having the information they need right at their fingertips. Computer and information systems managers, also called Information Technology – or IT – managers, do the work of making information accessible. IT managers keep computer systems working properly and efficiently. They determine a company’s computer needs, create project budgets, and work with senior management to put the necessary resources in place. These managers develop computer networks and set up Internet and Intranet sites, ever mindful of future needs, and of securing the organization’s data. IT managers oversee training programs and handle technical problems, often under high stress and tight timelines to avoid system failure. Though a college degree is expected, often in an IT major, this position requires a proven track record in a related occupation such as systems analyst or computer programmer. Some IT managers hold advanced IT degrees and certifications or specialize in areas such as security or web hosting. Constant re-training is typical. If you love the challenges of keeping pace with computer technology, power up a career in IT management.
