CIOs losing sleep over IT sourcing, fostering talent

摘要

In a report outlining the top 10 challenges and opportunities in information technology, IT sourcing and growing talent rank at the top of the most pressing issues facing Canadian CIOs today, according to consulting firm Deloitte. With a strong Canadian dollar, CIOs are questioning if Canada will play as big of a role as a nearshore provider as it did when the dollar was low, said Jean-Claude Aube, principal at Deloitte in Montreal. "There's a bit of consideration around IT sourcing," said Aube. "Are we going to push all the way to become CMMI (Carnegie Mellon Maturity Institute) certified with real offshorers?" In terms of growing talent, Aube said Canadians have a good reputation for fostering talented people.
