SAGE, The System Administrators Guild, is pleased to announce the System
Administrators Occupational Analysis Survey.

This is an ambitious step toward a certification program created
strictly by and for System Administrators. This program will allow us to
set our own industry standards and educational curricula in a vendor
neutral environment. Survey data from a cross section of practicing
system administrators is critical in evaluating the various technologies
and expertise levels that exist in the market today. We seek input on
the tasks and responsibilities that comprise a system administrator's
position as well as the knowledge, skills, and abilities required to
perform them well.

Certification of system administration professionals is not only
inevitable, it is a reality. SAGE has taken the lead in this
industry-wide effort and you can participate by simply completing the
survey. Your participation is critical for future educational
information and certification.
