Just a record of Gartner's prediction that by 2010 the IT profession will be split into four main areas of expertise: technology infrastructure and services (network design and security will remain strong, while routine coding and programming will be offshored); information design and management (there will be a demand for professionals with linguistics, language, information design and knowledge-management skills), process design and management (involving standard operational processes for outsourcing vendors, competitive business processes for IT user companies, design of automation programs for software vendors, and IT skill essential to international compretitiveness), and relationships and sourcing management (requiring IT professionals to be skilled in negotiating with different agendas and cultures as they may serve as relationship managers between overseas service providers and domestic customers).
