Jim Chilton – Vice President and CIO, SolidWorks Corporation "Had this book been available 10 years ago, it would have eased my transition from a purely technical role to a technology management role. Even after a number of years as an IT Manager, I found helpful insights in the first edition of this book and this second edition has added an expanded base of topics to help any new manager succeed.

The seasoned IT Manager/CIO may already know the information presented, but there are sections that provide relevant information and excellent advice to address current issues. For both types of readers, excellent and useful references and resources are included at the end of each Chapter."
Mark Landmann, Partner, Infusion Group LLC "It is not often that an IT book crosses my desk that, once picked up, cannot be put down until it has been read cover to cover. The IT Managers Handbook proved to be one of these books. Finally an IT management book that actually discusses how to deal with people and not just budget! A book that gives as much weight to managing team member personalities as it does to managing software licenses….The breadth and scope of this book is also quite impressive, given it is only 300 pages long. Outsourcing, cloud computing, project costing and scheduling, security management and of course employee handling all are covered efficiently and with immediate practical consequences. There is more to rave on about with this book, but really all you need to know is that it is a must-have for any beginner IT manager. Read it, and you are off to a great start. And of course the cost of the book is irrelevant - it is worth it."
BCS.org "Intended as a primer for IT professionals moving into management roles, the third edition of this work adds a new chapter on new connectivity issues surrounding social media and handheld devices. Other chapters include a breakdown of IT management, staffing, project management, software, operating systems and enterprise applications, managing money, technical environment, security and compliance, disaster recovery and working with users. Written in an easily understood and entertaining manner, this handbook aims to maximize the first hundred days in a new role and to address common pain points of IT management with effective strategies and action plans. There is very little filler here, and helpful and otherwise hard won wisdom abounds. Suggested supplemental reading for each topic makes this work a valuable resource for seasoned management as well as novice managers in an IT setting."
