IT Contractors In High Demand
The number of IT specialists moving into self-employment has increased by 48% in five years, up
143,000 in 2009 to 211,000 in 2014, according to research by professional services consultancy
Procorre. According to Procorre, the number of contractors in IT is growing at one of the fastest rates
for any sector and is being driven by rapidly growing business investment in IT, which is underpinned
by several factors including:
• The explosion of the ‘app economy’, estimated to be worth £4bn to the UK economy this year
but expected by some to rise to £31bn by 2025.
• The growth of mobile commerce (transactions via mobile devices) means that businesses are
investing in their web presence and e-commerce system to make them compatible with mobile
devices.
• Businesses are investing in cloud computing for data storage and software to offer their
employees greater flexibility and boost the productivity of a business
