About the Foote Partners LLC

Foote Partners LLC is a Vero Beach, Florida based independent IT research and advisory firm that provides pragmatic and forward-thinking advice about managing technology and the IT 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 more than 1,400 clients on five continents seeking research and advice on managing IT’s impact on their businesses and customers. 

The firm's research division publishes a series of IT and HR survey research products that help employers benchmark their IT professionals' compensation, solve their most difficult information technology delivery problems, and strengthen their management and decision making capabilities. The firm’s highly-respected IT Insider research series is one the the industry's most up-to-date and forward-thinking sources for IT organization, compensation and workforce trends research, including the IT Skills and Certifications Pay Index ^TM, currently the industry's oldest and most comprehensive survey of market values for 424 IT certified and noncertified skills.

Anchoring all Foote Partners products and services is the continuous monitoring of compensation, attitudes, and workplace experiences of 93,000 IT workers in more than 1,900 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 podcasts.
