Managing IT has always been an HR person’s worst nightmare, but Diaz
Research aims to bring a better understanding between the two sides with this
site. Diaz is a commercial research consultancy selling research and reports to
promote best practice in the field of IT and IT management. But it is
altruistic enough to know that good, sound advice for all helps to promote the
cause (not to mention raising its profile) and the Web is the ideal vehicle for
disseminating it. All content on the site is originated and written by Diaz
(unless otherwise stated), based on its own research. Areas covered include
works councils, managing IT in a slowdown period and there is an illuminating
article on getting good pay data. "Like explosives, fast cars, and small
babies, pay surveys can be deadly in the wrong hands," the site says.
