Expected Job Reductions in IT To Taper Off
Improving News on IT Staffing Underscores Gradual Signs of Recovery

VERNON HILLS, Ill. – Aug. 27, 2009 – In the midst of a slowly developing trend toward recovery in the information technology arena, data from the latest CDW IT Monitor indicates the first glimmer of good news about hiring. While industry sentiment falls short of promising new hires, the number of large companies planning on reducing IT staff continues to fall rapidly.

According to the August CDW IT Monitor, only 10 percent of large companies say they may be reducing IT staff in the next six months, down from 17 percent in February. In addition, the number of medium-size businesses planning to reduce staff fell to seven percent, down from nine percent in April. For the first time since December 2008, the overall IT Monitor score, an indicator of the direction, momentum and mindset of the U.S. IT industry, climbed one point registering a reading of 70.

Google Android To Challenge RIM For Enterprise Users
The company will bake in more enterprise-friendly features into Android, but still may have a hard time convincing companies to ditch their BlackBerry smartphones.

Google (NSDQ: GOOG) will soon compete harder with Research In Motion (NSDQ: RIMM) to nab mobile professionals with its Android mobile operating system, according to Google's mobile director Andy Rubin.

Google's Linux-based mobile OS is on a handful of smartphones like the T-Mobile G1 and the myTouch 3G that primarily target casual consumers, but Rubin said Android could have more business-friendly features by the end of the year. The company plans to have bi-annual over-the-air Android updates that could add new services and abilities.
