Research has identified an increasing trend of high level IT professionals being poorly placed on low level IT projects.

A study commissioned by IPsoft found that IT professionals were spending nearly a third of their time on low level IT tasks, these included tasks such as error reporting and checking.

IPsoft’s UK MD Terry Walby commenting on the research, saying:”the biggest impact of this is that IT staff are not being used effectively and are missing the opportunity to drive technology innovation, which is vital in the development of most businesses.”
