About the Foote Partners LLC

Foote Partners, LLC is a Vero Beach, FL based independent IT benchmarking research and advisory firm targeting the ‘execution’ side of IT and providing pragmatic and forward-thinking advice and data about managing the modern business/IT hybrid professional workforce. Founded in 1997 and comprised of former Gartner and META Group industry analysts, McKinsey & Company and Towers Perrin consultants, and former corporate HR, IT, and business executives, Foote Partners has been a thought leader and trusted advisor to thousands of employers seeking improvements in managing IT’s impact on their businesses and customers.  

The firm’s research division publishes a series of IT and HR research products that have helped more than 1,600 employers benchmark their IT professional compensation, solve their most difficult information technology management and workforce problems, and strengthen their execution capabilities. 

The firm’s respected IT Insider research series is the industry's most up-to-date and forward-thinking source for IT organization, skills, compensation and workforce trends research, including the IT Skills and Certifications Pay Index ^TM, the oldest and most comprehensive survey of market values and deamdn for 438 IT certified and noncertified skills.

The foundation of the firm’s research is the continuous monitoring of compensation, attitudes, and workplace experiences of 98,000 IT workers in more than 2,000 North American employers. Foote Partners distinction in the marketplace is its completely unique compensation survey methodology that solves the widespread problem of IT job titles that don't match what workers actually do on-the-job---a serious problem plaguing every major IT salary survey available today that uses passive-survey data collection methods tied to job titles. The firm’s highly specialized proprietary data collection methodology and analytical techniques produce superior validation and reliability by correcting participant job titles to match actual job responsibilities before the survey data enters our survey data compilation engine. All surveys are updated continuously and published quarterly.

Foote Partners IT compensation survey findings and analyses are featured regularly in more than one hundred HR, IT and business periodicals and media sources around the globe, including Business Week, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, CIO Magazine, ComputerWorld, Network World, WorldatWork’s Journal and Workspan Magazine; in appearances on television, National Public Radio, and global podcasts.
