Shortages of capable IT support experts is a hot problem all over Europe, many professionals have agreed, but some accept that the core problem lies in the skills doubt.

This can only be rectified by founding trusted partnerships with third party providers.

The study, which asked 900 IT administrators from around the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, found that anxieties about ability shortages across Europe are rife and are likely to deteriorate. Today, 21% of European businesses name skills shortages as one of their biggest IT disputes, and this is predicted to surge to 25% by 2020.

It’s clear that the work marketplace is in a state of unrest and it’s difficult to know with confidence what skills will be desirable in five years’ time or where those skilled specialists will be, mainly as free movement in the European labour market persists to take hold and IT skills come to be more focussed.

For a long time, companies, mostly those in the mid-market, have tried to be controllers of everything, and accomplish everything on the inside. On the other hand that kind of method doesn’t make sense any more, nor is it conceivable as certain skills deficiencies start to niggle. The key for European firms wanting to move away from expanding ambiguity over skills is to develop advantageous partnerships, which will help to isolate against any skills shortages and allow them to train up their staff to directly add value to their companies.
