Ratio of IT department to overall employees 1

Submitted by Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes "I recently was talking to a friend about the fortune 100 company she works for and IT. She informed me the company has 35,000 employees and over 5,000 IT employees (and its not a web firm). Plus numerous consultants doing work as well. To me (from a background where my last job had 50 IT employees and 1000 total, 1 IT per 20 people, yet were considered very responsive) a 1 to 7 ratio of IT employees seems crazy high. Yet she mentioned even simple changes to systems/software take over six months.

So what ratio does your company have and what is reasonable? And how much does this differ by industry?"
