Technology personnel are in high demand across most industry categories, but corporations fear they won't be able to find the people they need due to a shortage —either perceived or real — of experienced tech pros.
That's what a survey of more than 1,700 C-Suite corporate executives turned up when a new partnership between a pair of tech industry trade groups took a look at hiring needs and trends within its community.
