I recently took part in an IT contracts market research competition with Vantage Resources Ltd and won the star prize of an Ipod nano.
Vantage explained to me that continued ongoing research into IT contractor attitudes will help Vantage to implement new IT marketing campaigns.
They also outlined that this type of research will raise the company's awareness and exposure to an even greater proportion of IT contractors and clients in the Irish IT contracts industry.
I was delighted to take part in the research process and was very pleased to hear that my views together with other respondents that took part in the survey will help Vantage to improve its IT contracts services and marketing activities.
