Many technical professionals are tossed into their new position of managing an IT department without enough training or experience ― let alone a clear idea of what is expected of them. Other technical personnel are trying to decide if they should join the ranks of management, and want the real facts about managing – and managing other technical pros – before they decide.

To compound the difficulty, most companies have become highly dependent on their IT departments for their day-to-day business operations ― often including revenue generation ― so the tasks are critical and the learning curve is steep.

The IT Manager’s Handbook, 2nd edition provides essential information needed to manage those new responsibilities: vital tasks such as creating budgets, evaluating technologies, administering compliance, and managing staff.
