Methodology and Use of Foote Partners’
2015 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, don’t offer a comprehensive
solution via their off-the-shelf products. Employers often must contract with them for expensive custom
surveys.
Our solution in 1994 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, e-Commerce,
Data Warehousing/Business Intelligence, Unix and NT, Business Technology (published in 1994 and
1995); 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 203,000 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 2,705 public and private sector employers to overcome the many obstacles to accurate tracking of
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. No other IT compensation survey research firm today publishes off-the-
shelf surveys that use these IT job title alignment accuracy methods.

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: 168 positions, 83 cities in the United States and
Canada. There are no geographic multipliers used in our research, no cost-of-living coefficients. Ours is
constantly refreshed ‘real world’ salary and skills pay data.
Research participant metrics
IT compensation data for our latest 2015 research findings (collected through April 1, 2015) represents
more than 40 private sector industries plus government and educational institutions surveyed every three
months. The size of the participating organizations, measured most appropriately for the type of business,
by revenues, assets, total premiums and operating budgets, are as follows
18% of participating organizations have $3 billion+ in sales/$15+ billion in total assets
28% of participating organizations earn more than $1 billion in annual revenues or more than $3 billion
in total assets
46% of participating organizations have $500+ million in sales/$1+ billion in total assets/$500+ million
in premiums/$500+ million operating budget (government, educational, not-for-profit)
54% of participating organizations fall in the SMB (small-to-medium sized business) segment, generally
defined as organization under $500 million in sales.
[Public sector] 5% have operating budgets of $500 million or more, [nonprofit/educational sectors] 4%
with operating budgets $100 million to less than $500million

Industry Pay Differentials
In each target city or labor market, Foote Partners surveys those employers that have a significant influence
on local employment. The most frequent industries surveyed appear in the table below.
Foote Partners standard salary survey reports include detailed long form job descriptions and salaries, by job
title, for up to 83 cities or metro areas. Within job titles we do not report salaries by industry, but instead
across all industries. Customers may make adjustments for specific industries by using our industry
multipliers. We calculate industry multipliers for this purpose twice annually, by taking all survey salary
data and computing relative values by industry (1.00 = average of all industries).
Compensation data in this report may be adjusted by applying the appropriate multipliers shown below,
however be advised that individual jobs may not necessarily behave like other jobs within any given
industry.

Using Data From the Foote Partners
2015 IT Skills & Certifications Pay IndexTM
What is IT skills and certifications pay?
It is common practice today for employers to isolate, recognize and reward experience in a variety of technical
and business skills. Pay for such skills, both certified and noncertified, is usually provided in the form of a
premium employers are willing to pay workers who possess high-value technology skills used on the job (with
or without formal certification of those skills). This pay may be applied in the form of a cash bonus or it may
be embedded in base salary to adjust for the presence of a dominant vendor or technology; for example a
Cisco Network Engineer, Python Software Engineer, Red Hat Linux Systems Administrator, or SAP
Developer.
Incorporating skills premiums in base pay is the most popular option today. Why? Because it is an effective
solution to the dreaded long-standing problem of job titles that don't match what people actually do on-the-
job. These days it is common to find Linux, Unix, and NT administrators lumped together under a single
"Systems Administrator" titles. Or .NET, Java, Python, Ruby on Rails, SAP, and even Cobol specialists all
with "Programmer" or "Developer" titles. But some of these skills are worth more than others in the
marketplace. Benchmarking salaries of these various IT specialists to a single job title in a salary survey – if
you can even find the job title -- typically results in salary mismatches.
In an ideal world you would simply change the persons job title to reflect the skill specializations. For
example, software developers who work exclusively with Java become "Java Developers" and engineers in
the Cisco environment world be "Cisco Network Administrators". But there is much resistance at many
employers for doing this. Instead, why not differentiate workers within common job titles by offering skills
premium pay in order to match their pay to the job titles they should have? It's a lot less difficult than going
through a laborious job evaluation process and has become a common industry practice.
This is where our IT Skills and Certifications Pay IndexTM
comes in handy: it tells you exactly what the
bonus or base pay adjustment should be for 774 certified and noncertified IT skills, based on current
compensation practice at 2,705 employers.
Are there other uses for skills pay? Absolutely. Skills pay can be offered as an inducement in recruiting a
prospective employee via internal transfer, or securing external candidates on the open market as a basis for a
sign-on bonus. Skills pay can also used as a de facto retention bonus. This may be without regard to other
variables such as low/no-cash incentives, merit and bonus pay not connected to specific skills (e.g. profit
sharing), work/lifestyle benefits, and other important add-ons not tied specifically to cash compensation for
individual performance.

Is a certain level of performance necessary to receive a skill or certification premium? Our research indicates
that while some employers may attach a performance basis for skills payout, others do not. The trend is
towards companies devising measurable performance hurdles whenever possible.
How does Foote Partners collect skills pay data?
Foote Partners’ primary research report for skills and professional certifications pay is the IT Skills and
Certifications Pay IndexTM
(ITSCPI), which tracks premium pay for 774 IT certifications and noncertified
skills and is continuously updated and published every three months. Updated data in this edition was
collected through April 1, 2015, including 56,667 validated IT professionals receiving premium pay for their
skills and/or certifications.
Employers have been paying for IT skills and certifications for some time but they are notoriously reluctant to
create formal programs to do so. That’s because they want to pay for skills selectively without feeling
obligated to pay all holders of any one skill or certification equally, or even at all. This makes it much more
labor intensive and expensive for survey researchers to capture such data. Though many have tried to track
skills pay---Towers Watson, Culpepper, and Mercer, to name a few---Foote Partners’ ITSCPI, launched in
1999, is the only survey of its kind still in existence and has been the industry’s most comprehensive and most
accurate since the beginning.
Our unique data collection methodology lends itself very well to capturing both informal and formal pay
practices, and to do it more economically. Our survey reveals that more than one half of the private and
public sector IT workers in our North American survey receive some form of skills pay, and of that number
we are able to both document and validate skills pay data for approximately 48 percent of them. From our HR
department and non-HR research partner sources we receive all formal and informal IT compensation data in
the form of electronic databases, spreadsheets, and hard copy.
With this critical data in hand, Foote Partners spends significant time on the delicate and critical task of
validating the data including direct interviewing and aggressive interactive surveying. We do not collect skills
pay data from workers themselves, but instead from their managers and HR/compensation staffs.
We collect and compile the data continuously and make those results available to our retainer and consulting
customers only: everybody else may obtain more than 30 individual quarterly updated ‘off-the-shelf’
compensation surveys published and regularly updated by Foote Partners that contains excerpts from the
ITSCPI report.
