2016 IT Professional Salary Survey: Epic Systems (US - xQ 2016 data)
Methodology and Use of Foote Partners’ 2016 IT Insider IT Professional Compensation Reports How does Foote Partners collect IT compensation data? Rapidly evolving information technology jobs are often so unique in the universe of business employment that using passive surveying methods to obtain compensation benchmark data can yield extremely inaccurate results. That’s because of the common (and dreaded) problem of lack of standardization in IT job titles and what IT professionals actually do on-the-job. These days it is not uncommon to find specialists with C#, Javascript, PHP, Python, Ruby, SAP/ABAP, and dozens of other popular programming language skills all with somewhat generic "Programmer", "Developer", or “Software Engineer” titles. Or for many years the Linux, Unix, and NT administrators lumped together under a single "Systems Administrator". The problem is that some skills are worth more in the marketplace than others so doing simple job title matches to industry salary surveys often results in underpaying or overpaying IT professionals. The job title mismatch dilemma is an epidemic widely acknowledged by HR compensation professionals and IT salary surveyors alike. It affects nearly half of all employed IT workers by even the most conservative estimate. Making the situation worse is that compensation surveys from the largest HR consulting firms, including Towers Watson, Mercer, Hewitt/AON and others, too often do not offer a comprehensive solution via their off-the-shelf products. Employers often must contract with them for expensive custom surveys. Our solution more than seventeen years ago was to create a new methodology that produced the first salary surveys in North America to define and accurately benchmark progressive IT job families including Web, eCommerce, Data Warehousing/Business Intelligence, Unix and NT, Business Technology (published in 1994 and 1995); SAP, Information Security, SAP and other enterprise software applications (1998); and Epic Systems (2012). The best part about our unique methodology is that it corrects for job title/job content mismatches by matching 220,425 IT professionals to our standardized set of carefully constructed job descriptions before their pay data is loaded into our survey data compilation engine. Then you just need to match your people to our job descriptions to get the most accurate market benchmark salaries available anywhere today. It’s a labor-intensive and expensive way to achieve truly accurate and validated compensation benchmarking, and it requires a deep grounding in technology and the nuances of IT professional employment. In addition to that unique grounding, Foote Partners uses its unprecedented access to IT workers in 2,845 public and private sector employers to overcome the many obstacles for accurately tracking IT compensation and workforce issues. Overall, our methodology produces better data screening and cleansing, superior statistical reliability and validity, and constantly refreshed and consistent ‘real world’ salary and tech skills pay data.

Methodology and Use, cont. IT infrastructure positions originally formed the strong foundation for our research, however Foote Partners’ competitive distinction has long been its focus on critical new strategic and tactical IT-business hybrid positions often unreported (or under-reported) in other IT surveys. Findings are updated continuously and published every three months (but weekly to our retainer accounts), aided by our constant flow of confidential IT compensation data from North American public and private sector employer HR departments and IT, HR, and business executives research partners. Our relationships with our research partners have been forged over many years: developed from among the clients, colleagues, and associates of our senior research team of former McKinsey & Company, Towers Watson, Gartner and META Group consultants and analysts. We have access not only to their IT compensation databases but to management and rank-and-file workers, which facilitates the matching of job content with comparable job titles that enables the extraordinary accuracy and reliability of our surveys. We survey salaries and skills pay job-by-job, city-by-city: 202 positions, 85 cities in the United States and Canada. There are no geographic multipliers used in our research, no cost-of-living coefficients Each job is tracked individually in all job markets. Ours is constantly refreshed ‘real world’ salary and skills pay data.
