The 2020 numbers show that 55.3 million people are employed as IT professionals worldwide. Of them, only a tiny subset (8,000 IT pros) are CGEIT-certified. IT professionals based in the U.S. earn an average of US$62,571 a year. This figure can go up to as much as US$141,000 with the addition of CGEIT certification to their portfolio.
And given the considerable investment required in acquiring, using, and maintaining IT systems and solutions, it’s only fitting that they provide good returns on investment (RoIs). They should enhance productivity, reduce risks, help users comply with regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and contribute to achieving business goals. CGEIT-certified IT professionals can help companies ensure all that bang for their buck.
