How Big is your IT department
-
There is a reason that the government was so keen to nationalize healthy banks.
-
If you include developers in the IT department you get crazy figures. Imagine if Microsoft or Google did that. Their IT might be 100:1 (100 IT for every non-IT person.) Clearly the numbers make no sense at all when you mix operations with IT.
That would be like NTG stating their numbers. Our ratio is... infinity since there are zero non-IT department people!
-
We are around 1:100 and there are 2 of us.

I am 1:115
But I'm an SMB shop.
-
One of the things that is tough is...
SMBs tend to count "Internal IT" vs Staff numbers. Enterprises tend to think in terms of "Total IT Staff Including Consultants and vendors" vs Staff numbers.
How many SMBs use MSPs? How many count that staff in their counts? Because Enterprises count those people.

1 with a few arrows in the quiver if needed.

I suppose if I count all of you and everyone I converse with at SW, than I'm about 1000+:115

I don't know what I am. I do a bit of IT support but I also do a bit of systems development, a bit of project management, a bit of business analysis....
But I work in the IT department.

1 of me, 35 of them. In all fairness, most of "them" are developers, so I really only have 2 "users" here that aren't technical and brilliant.
