Surveys
ScotlandIS undertakes an annual survey of the industry examining industry dynamics, business confidence, growth markets, and employment and skills factors.
Copies of the surveys for the last three years can be downloaded, or call us for a hard copy on 01506 472200.
Reports
ScotlandIS publishes occasional reports on key issues. Most recently we have published a report on ICT Skills & Innovation. This report evidences the link between ICT skills and innovation. The work was commissioned by ScotlandIS, with generous support from Cisco Scotland, Microsoft UK and Scottish Enterprise, and was carried out by nmp.
The report provides a baseline, examining the connection between high level ICT skills and innovation. The findings establish a clear link between innovation and the presence of high level ICT skills in the workforce.
