IT solution providers need a fairly broad set of skills to tap into the range of enterprise mobility demands. Read up on the skill sets that channel firms are obtaining to bolster their mobility practices.
Bluewolf, a business consulting firm and systems integrator, has also built an in-house mobile strategy consulting team. The company has used a number of approaches to cultivate mobility talent. In some cases, it will take developers from other areas of the company and cross-skill them in mobile technology, noted Patrick Bulacz, global head of mobile at Bluewolf. On other projects, seasoned mobile developers will train personnel so they can take on the more challenging customer builds.
Bluewolf also hires mobile experts. Bulacz said talent was hard to find a few years ago, but added that the availability of mobile skill sets has opened up somewhat. In particular, the company has found a large pool of talent in Australia, where Bulacz is based.
