International Women’s Day was marked this week with another disheartening report on the state of women in the technology industry.
Women who are in high IT positions around the world continue to say there are significant obstacles facing them.

If you only just noticed the lack of women in your IT department, have a read. And if your organization has had success in recruiting and promoting women, lets us know.
