The report further found that 40 percent of the organizations surveyed are dependent on one individual for their systems knowledge and expertise, while only 8 percent of respondents have never depended on only one individual for such knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>About 55 percent of respondents said that security is their highest technology priority. This result was surprising, as security projects usually have little to no impact on generating revenue or creating operational efficiencies.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This may reflect the fact that IT managers are focusing their limited resources on crucial areas that cannot be compromised, or it may be that this category has been neglected during the recession and managers fear the consequences of such neglect,&#8221; the report notes.<\/p>\n<p>About 38 percent of respondents said business intelligence is their second-highest priority, followed by storage, Web development and LAN\/WAN infrastructure. When asked what offered the greatest bang for its buck, 109 respondents answered virtualization, while 97 respondents said collaboration and document sharing and 90 respondents said Web development.<\/p>\n<p>When looking ahead to next year, about 51 percent of respondents said they have a &#8220;cautiously optimistic&#8221; business outlook. However, 8 percent of respondents said they have a &#8220;pessimistic&#8221; business outlook, while 3 percent said they have a &#8220;highly pessimistic&#8221; business outlook.<\/p>\n<p>The survey was given to 170 IT and business-line managers from organizations in Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana. Companies included covered the manufacturing, retail, education, construction, healthcare and accounting industries, as well as nonprofits. More than half of the respondents manage between 100 and 2,000 users.<\/p>\n<p>Even though the survey specifically targeted mid-market companies, the results reflect the staffing needs and business outlook of companies of all sizes throughout every market in every corner of the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[26],"class_list":["post-32632","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-industry","tag-hr-software"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\r\n<title>HR Software Could Benefit Companies with Increasing Staffing Needs - PCRecruiter<\/title>\r\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\r\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcrecruiter.net\/site\/2009\/11\/17\/hr-software-could-benefit\/\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"HR Software Could Benefit Companies with Increasing Staffing Needs - PCRecruiter\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pcrecruiter.net\/site\/2009\/11\/17\/hr-software-could-benefit\/\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"PCRecruiter\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/facebook.com\/PCRecruiter\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2009-11-17T15:46:18+00:00\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-01-11T16:46:25+00:00\" \/>\r\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"PCRecruiter\" \/>\r\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\r\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@PCRecruiter\" \/>\r\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@PCRecruiter\" \/>\r\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"PCRecruiter\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\r\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.pcrecruiter.net\/site\/2009\/11\/17\/hr-software-could-benefit\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.pcrecruiter.net\/site\/2009\/11\/17\/hr-software-could-benefit\/\"},\"author\":\"PCRecruiter\",\"headline\":\"HR Software Could Benefit Companies with Increasing Staffing Needs\",\"datePublished\":\"2009-11-17T15:46:18+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-01-11T16:46:25+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.pcrecruiter.net\/site\/2009\/11\/17\/hr-software-could-benefit\/\"},\"wordCount\":433,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.pcrecruiter.net\/site\/#organization\"},\"keywords\":[\"HR Software\"],\"articleSection\":[\"Industry\"],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"CommentAction\",\"name\":\"Comment\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.pcrecruiter.net\/site\/2009\/11\/17\/hr-software-could-benefit\/#respond\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.pcrecruiter.net\/site\/2009\/11\/17\/hr-software-could-benefit\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.pcrecruiter.net\/site\/2009\/11\/17\/hr-software-could-benefit\/\",\"name\":\"HR Software Could Benefit Companies with Increasing Staffing Needs - PCRecruiter\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.pcrecruiter.net\/site\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2009-11-17T15:46:18+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-01-11T16:46:25+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.pcrecruiter.net\/site\/2009\/11\/17\/hr-software-could-benefit\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.pcrecruiter.net\/site\/2009\/11\/17\/hr-software-could-benefit\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.pcrecruiter.net\/site\/2009\/11\/17\/hr-software-could-benefit\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.pcrecruiter.net\/site\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"HR Software Could Benefit Companies with Increasing Staffing Needs\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.pcrecruiter.net\/site\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.pcrecruiter.net\/site\/\",\"name\":\"PCRecruiter\",\"description\":\"PCRM &amp;
