Thanks Cat,

Some very good poitns raised.

The ITSA that I have shares is still cash generative and pays dividends. I believe it to be the boards intention to continue these every six months providing the business environment does not drastically worsen than forecast.

I also beleive that staffing will be one of the first sectors to gather steam afterall IT is nothing without skilled people to drive it forwards.

oh and btw Holway is not trying to sell subscriptions to System House are they!?!?!

FIRST SIGNS OF UPTURN IN IT MARKET





Temporary contract rates up 14%, permanent salaries up 10% in last three
months




The Association of Technology Staffing Companies (ATSCo) iProfile Skills Survey, the IT industry's most comprehensive report on the value of permanent and temporary staff was launched today, revealing the first real signs of an upturn in the IT marketplace after two years of declining rates of pay.



The report shows that since September there has been a significant increase in the market value of key skills, with the top five (C++, Java, MS SQL Server, MS Visual Basic and Unix) experiencing a 10% increase in annual salaries and 14% increase in temporary contract rates.



Comments Ann Swain, Chief Executive of ATSCo: "Sentiment is still fragile and nobody wants to forecast a false dawn but ATSCo members have reported an upturn in the placement of temporary and permanent staff in recent months."



"These results, along with the recent recovery in share value of recruitment companies, may indicate the first tentative signs of a recovery in confidence following the recent economic slowdown. Job cuts over the last two years had pared IT Departments down to the bone so any pick up in, say, investment banking or 3G mobile activity is going to feed through very quickly."



According to iProfile Skills Survey data, this upward trend is in sharp contrast to the decline in earnings over the previous year. By September the total decrease in value since the beginning of 2002 was 20% for annual salaries and 26% for contract rates.



In the first nine months of 2002 an average of almost £10,000 per annum had been wiped off earnings for salaried staff and £10 per hour in a contract role.



Since September, however, earnings have bounced back. This is especially true of contract roles, which have regained an average of almost £5 per hour. IT professionals in permanent positions have regained an average of £3,000 per annum.



Says Ann Swain; "Contractors are usually the first into and the first out of a recession."



Says Alex Charles, Director of TheSkillsMarket, the company that owns iProfileStats; "Over the last few months we've had reports of pockets of recovery in most of the major skill areas due to companies starting projects that had previously been put on hold. This is reflected in current pay increases for contract and permanent staff. It is, however, probably still too early to predict a more sustained recovery."



According to ATSCo, the research was commissioned because members had been requesting information about demand for certain skills, IT contractor rates and permanent salaries.



Says Ann Swain; "Client organisations have also been approaching ATSCo for benchmarking information and until now figures based on actual rates and salaries have not been available. ATSCo members can now provide this valuable information to their clients and use it in responding to invitations to tender."
