Abstract

The IT industry in Argentina has demonstrated strong growth in recent years, despite economic turmoil. The software and service segment has shown more dynamic growth than the hardware and supply segment. From 2008 to 2017, the software and service sector saw employment growth at an annual average of 4%. This growth drives a strong demand for IT personnel, but can also cause high employee turnover. The top IT organizational issues for IT workers in Argentina were alignment between IT and business, IT reliability and efficiency, IT strategic planning, and security and privacy. Top technology issues included enterprise application integration, business intelligence/analytics, and networks/telecommunications. The typical IT employee exhibits moderately high levels of job satisfaction. The overall assessment is that the IT sector in Argentina seems to exist as an island that is somewhat insulated from the larger economic challenges of the country.
