ZDNet: According to a new CompTIA study, eight out of ten businesses believe they are negatively affected because their IT workers do not have the skills their companies need.

Virtualization, process automation, collaboration and networking scored high.

Even modest improvements in these two areas would yield tremendous benefits in operational efficiencies, business productivity and economic growth.”
