Foreword
Present at the review were user organizations from various industries. Representing
the organizations were: information systems managers, finance managers, human
resources managers, procurement managers and so forth. The object of the discussion
was to raise matters with which most IT organizations are coping today in relation to
procurement and the management of outside personnel, such as: ratio between tenured
IT employees and the outside employees, pay packet revisions, and trends in the
domain; to share existing experience in this domain: and to learn the best practices of
other organizations. .
One fact that emerged from the discussion was that the ratio between tenured IT
employees and the outside employees varies greatly from one organization to another
and between different industries.
Private Sector:
important to note that even if the dollar exchange rates have not
changed very much since the fall of the dollar, even though the decline
made itself felt in dollar denominated employees’ salaries (there was
no change even when the dollar reached NIS 4.9), still, employees are
still not seen to be exiting, despite the fact that the pressure is starting
to be felt. Contractor employees report their hours to the company’s
hours' system. Recruitment of external employees is made by the

______________________________________________________
The profitability of software firms/ manpower companies has been eroded in recent
years, between payroll costs and customer requirements. Accordingly, companies
have become more aggressive in tariff discussions in the past year, as also in payroll
discussions, while assuming the “risk” of loss of a job or an employee. Therefore,
most stable, specializing companies (as distinct from new ones) are switching from
the market share policy that characterized previous years to a profit oriented policy .
At the same time, some organizations succeed in constructing, jointly with a specialist
software house, a mechanism for a project to be managed jointly, and which
incorporates a commitment on the part of the software house for knowledge
enrichment, experts, creation of a roadmap, and reduced dependency on employees.
These organizations get to enjoy the best of both worlds: on the one hand, flexibility
and familiarity with the technological front by reason of the involvement of the
software firms, and on the other hand, conservation of expenses and the
supplier/employee commitment.
Gilon has numerous projects managed by the fixed annual budget method, including a
definition of key development tasks along with maintenance and assimilation. In this
context, a regular team operates along with additional support experts as well as
managers and consultants who provide added value. This method is worthwhile for all
parties since it enables them to create a balance between more profitable and less
profitable employees, between short term and long term profitability, continuity,
creation of added value, flexibility and so forth.
