New MD at Capita asks "Are skills shortages delaying the adoption of new tech?
You can see it in the report Adam Jarvis, this month's MD at Capita co-authored along with Cisco on Capita's website.
Read it and weep! Jarvis tells a good tale in this report and it plainly applies at Capita owned DDT...oh sorry DCC. They appear not to have a clue about how to implement IoT, even for £11bn of our hard earned! Jarvis obviously seems to feel he's an expert so perhaps he'll show them the way? Time will tell.
The report covers other new technologies too so there are going to be openings for some highly skilled people to help company's implement this stuff. Just the kind of thing Capita think they do!
In the meantime it seems several Capita IT services staff have just been made redundant and more have been advised that their jobs are at risk. Again!!
Surely Mr Jarvis could retrain these highly skilled engineers and then sell their skills to the types of company identified in his report as not having much of a clue about why they might need this tech, let alone how to justify the cost or implement it!
Or perhaps his brief is altogether different?
