Information Technology
is the technology used to create, maintain, and make information available. IT manages and
supports the technologies needed to develop, maintain, and use computer hardware and
software, along with network connectivity and performance. Further, IT is responsible for the
storage, processing, and distribution of information
System
is a collection of elements that interact to achieve a common goal. IT as a system includes the
hardware, the software, the networking elements (maintained by IT professionals), and the
people who use them.
Purpose of IT department
-User support-enable employees
-Data and information management-build systems to enable storage, retrieval, analysis, and use
of organization data and information with an eye on disaster recovery and business continuity
to mitigate the high costs of losing data.
-Networks support communication between the elements of an IT system
-Systems Integration -Vendors provide IT equipment, software, and services. The deployment of
those systems in an organization often requires setting up and configuring the product to align
with the specific organizational needs and to integrate with other systems already in use.
Core Components of IT Software
-Software Development-Software systems implement various algorithms that transform data
from one form into another, perform calculations, manipulate files, or complete other tasks that
may be repetitive, time-consuming, or dangerous to an employee. A few examples of tasks
software systems perform include controlling the movements of industrial robotic arms, sending
emails, and editing text.
,-Business Analysis-Organizations benefit from improving and optimizing their operations. With
the rapid changes in the IT field, organizations must constantly investigate, assess, and plan for
new or replacement systems provided by vendors or developed internally. Organizations analyze
their processes, then assess current and anticipated needs for gaps that technology can fill.
-Security-Business decisions often rely on sensitive data that should only be handled by specific
parties. Unauthorized access could result in data loss or modifications, exposure of data to
competitors, or disruptions in availability that affect the normal course of the business.
Websites can generally be classified as
Internet, Intranet, extranet
internet
Resources available for the public are on the internet, including commercial sites (e-commerce),
blogs, social media, and news.
Intranet
Resources only available for users or systems of a specific organization are on the intranet.
Things like proprietary information and sensitive employee information are examples of what is
typically placed on an organization's intranet. Using an intranet for this kind of data helps
protect sensitive information while still facilitating widespread communication through the
organization.
Extranet
An extranet makes resources available within an organization, but it also makes that information
available to other specific organizations or users, such as contracted, third-party consultants.
Business Intelligence
Organizations gather data to support their decision-making process and discover opportunities
to better serve their customers, optimize their processes, and maintain or gain a competitive
advantage in an industry. Systems and personnel supporting data analytics use the
organization's data to examine its past performance, identify the reasons behind past and
current issues, and forecast future performance.
Project Management
Organizations need to ensure that projects execute in a manageable fashion, maintain scope,
and optimize use of resources.
Outsourcing Services
, Smaller organizations cannot always employ a full range of IT professionals to support their
systems. Instead, consultants are frequently brought in for technical support. These third-party,
specialized IT consulting services form a significant segment of the IT industry.
Computing
is generally understood as any activity that uses a computer to manage, process, or share
information.
5 Computing Disciples
computer engineering, computer science, software engineering, information systems, and
information technology.
Computer Engineering
Computer engineering (CE) focuses on the design of hardware systems and the software that
makes them work. In addition to writing drivers for peripheral devices, such as keyboards and
printers, computer engineering addresses the development of solutions that use computers
embedded in other devices like alarm systems, refrigerators, and self-driving cars.
Computer Science
Computer science (CS) addresses the design and implementation of software with an emphasis
on developing effective ways to solve computing problems and creating new ways to use
computers. It encompasses a range of computing-related tasks such as robotics, artificial
intelligence, augmented reality, and algorithms designed to solve problems.
Software Engineering
Large software systems are constructed across enterprises to meet business requirements and
support business-critical activities. Software engineering (SE) focuses on the development and
maintenance of reliable and efficient software systems.
Information Systems
The focus of information systems (IS) is to integrate IT solutions meant to meet organizational
business goals. This computing discipline addresses systems that generate, process, and
distribute information and support organizational communication and collaboration, their
design, and their implementation.
Information Technology
Information technology (IT) focuses more on the technology supporting information systems in
an organization rather than the information residing on the systems or being communicated
