2011 readiness consulting.

Can you be absolutely sure none of the systems in your company use 1/1/11 as a rollover date? Might you be storing up apocalyptic chaos? Is the 'millennium-and-eleven' bug going to bite your ass and bite it hard?

Let thunderCorp give you peace of mind for only £2011/day.

You know a guy called Bose? He's in that line and I've seen examples of what his company does - early days but definitely something to build upon.

You might be right, but I reckon with increasing availability of good band-width, thin-clients & outsourced IT / SaaS looks like a strong contender to me.

The driver behind green IT will depend on harsher regulation which I would think unlikely to be imposed within 2 years.

Desire for cost reduction is here now, and outsourcing IT allows major reduction in office space and local IT staffing in exchange for a predictable and scaleable ongoing cost. I'd do it if I was running a major concern with significant in-house IT function.

I'd say Oracle DBA. My mate is an Oracle DBA, he is NEVER on the bench and he earns an absolute fortune. He told me he's invoiced over £1m in the last 6 years (most of it to the same client I think).
