CIOs have a lot of things on their minds, and recruiting talented staff members is near the top of the list. Finding expertise in specialized areas ranging from security to VoIP is a critical piece of the overall technology management job. According to a new Robert Half Technology study, fourteen percent of CIOs say they're looking to hire new staff in the fourth quarter--and networking skills are at the top of their list of needs.

If your organization is moving full-blast into wireless networking deployment, the first thing you should do is assess internal skills and make sure you've got the right tech expertise on hand to make it happen. The problem, though, is that you may find hiring such skills a bit hard right now given the rapid development of wireless and associated communications technologies. According to Robert Half Technology's June report related to third-quarter hiring expectations, 57 percent of CIOs said management skills in wireless networks are in demand. And it's not only wireless skills, but sophisticated network security analysts and network architects that are in demand as well. - Judy

Welcome to the first issue of IT Wireless, brought to you by FierceMarkets. Our quest is to help IT managers, network leaders, and CIOs keep up on the latest and greatest in mobile and wireless technologies, as well as the important issues and technology advancements made every day in this dynamic marketplace. While I don't have a study to quote, I believe wireless is synonymous with business today -- for both in-house employees and internal networking, as well as the ever increasing number of road warriors and virtual offices cropping up everywhere. Our goal is to put valuable information, knowledge, and best practices right into your hands as you expand your wireless efforts. That's why we're hoping that you'll share your successes, your failures, and your valuable insight on everything from rolling out an IP converged network to securing your WLAN. In return, we promise to bring you good, meaty content articulating what to do and not to do on key topics, as well as expert insight and opinions. We hope you'll feed us some insight on what you need most and the type of mobile and wireless IT information you need to have in your hands every week.

Thanks for reading our first issue. I hope you'll stay with us on this exciting road, and let me know if you've got a good case study to share or a nugget of insight I can include in a future issue. - Judy Mottl
