Professional services specialists across Europe face a skills gap

Posted on April 26, 2022 by - News

Cloud software player Unit4 said that professional services specialists across Europe are experiencing lower growth due to a skills gap and dealing with legacy systems.

The Professional report services in Europe: a benchmark for 2022, commissioned by Unit4 and undertaken by PAC, examined a range of professional service markets, including those delivering IT support, and found optimism thanks to increased customer demand.

The report said that things could be even better if talent was easier to find and if dealing with legacy IT systems, often a consequence of consolidation, was not holding back more innovation.

That skills problem will only worsen, with the research revealing that 81 percent of professional services firms plan to increase their head counts to support growth.
