The field of information technology is continually showing that its value exceeds knowledge of computer processors and the latest software. IT professionals may take pride in speaking the complex jargon of modern technology which to many can sound like a foreign language. Those adept at deciphering the strange dialects of computer programming may find that careers in information technology are instrumental in providing innovative business strategies.

One IT expert's successful career in business has been largely facilitated by his creativity with computers. The nonprofit IT services network, NPower, announced that Guy Chiarello, the CIO of JPMorgan Chase recently joined its Board of Directors.

Chiarello began his career in information technology with the Treasury Department for the State of New Jersey. After joining Morgan Stanley, the computer specialist found a niche developing software and devising technology infrastructure and business strategies over the next quarter century.

Gina S. Duminy, president of an online career resource for technology professionals, told Business World Online reporters "IT is a challenge in organizing people, solving issues and problems through better process and organization. Its emphasis is on business problem solving."

The Bureau of Labor Statistics determined that the computer scientists and database administrators field is expected to grow by 37% until 2016, which is about 28% more growth than the average occupation over the same time period.
