Is the Web your next career opportunity? Those already managing Web sites and intranets are overwhelmingly satisfied with life on the cutting
edge, despite the long hours they work. And their salaries are almost equal to those of network/IS managers who have long been a part of the IT hegemony. Although graphic design for Web sites
might be contracted out to hip 23-year-olds, the responsibility for building, deploying and maintaining both the infrastructure and the applications of Internet technology lies squarely within IS people's skill set.
Network Computing surveyed 520 readers about their intranets, Web sites and responsibilities therein during March and April 1997. Intranets and Web sites have caught the imagination of IT and business managers as ways to improve internal communication as well as another method of selling products and services. In our study, 52.5 percent of the respondents said they were deploying both an intranet and a public Web site. Additionally, 18.5 percent are deploying only a public Web site and 17.3 percent are deploying only an intranet. Only 11.7 percent said their organizations are not planning to deploy either. (Those not putting in either an intranet or Web site were not included in this survey. A complete methodology of the study is at the end of this article.)
Read on. This study
details Web/intranet managers' earning power, motivating forces, job satisfaction levels and job challenges. It also delves into the impact of age, sex, education, geography and industry on your take-home pay. And this article will tell you who's using the intranet and Web site for what purposes.
