In our focus and expansion of Logic Software (the Software Development brand of Logic Consulting) we are implementing new tools and best practices that follow SCRUM - an Agile software methodology. What is SCRUM? Here is an awesome video that explains it in under 10 minutes.

Logic Co-CEO John Matzek quoted in this recent Processor Magazine article:
Investing a substantial amount of money for an IT employee’s training almost always harbors the risk that he or she will use the skills learned to move on to greener pastures for more money. One way to mitigate the risk is to share training costs or schedule reimbursement after the training is completed. “You can offer a partial scholarship where an employee pays for part of the class and gets reimbursed after a certain amount of time,” says John Matzek, co-chief executive officer of Logic IT Consulting (www.logicitc.com). “Or the employee needs to work at the job for a certain amount of time before being eligible for a full scholarship.”
It is also good to keep in mind that keeping good employees involves more than just worrying that they might leave after acquiring better skills.
“At the end of the day, your organization needs to remain competitive to retain talented IT employees, and this requires offering some form of training or certification,” says Michael Taivalmaa, an analyst for Corporate Integrity (www.corp-integrity.com). “Who knows, maybe your next new hire sees you as their greener pasture.”
