The unparalleled growth in both the complexity of information technology and its importance in our lives has placed increased emphasis on high quality education in information technology. Today's systems analysts do not just create systems that produce our paychecks. They develop systems that are critical to the operation of organizations and that control our communication systems, automobiles, airplanes, and medical equipment. There is currently a shortage of well educated information technology professionals. The shortage is expected to last well into the millenium.
Technical competency is also important for advancement into infomation systems management.
