Outsourcing
The trend at the moment is for a lot of the Corporates to outsource certain parts of there operations, however call centres cannot come to your office and fix your computer. There are a lot of businesses that can provide this service but in my opinion mre small to medium size firms will employ or train their staff to deal with immediate problems.
The previous comments tend to deal with Blue Chip companies that have the £$ to spend where in real life any individual who can provide IT support and other skills will always have a place.
The days of high wages may have disappeared but there will always be a need for IT in the workplace as long as computers exist.
Just ask around and you will find out how many people use the internet and email, but ask them what they know or want to know about computers, then the answers change to I know enough, if anything goes wrong we'll get somebody in.
IT Lives, although not so profitable!!!!!!
