Information Technology

Information technology (IT) is the acquisition, processing, storage and dissemination of vocal, pictorial, textual and numerical information by a microelectronics-based combination ofcomputing and telecommunications.^[1] The term in its modern sense first appeared in a 1958 article published in the Harvard Business Review, in which authors Leavitt and Whisler commented that "the new technology does not yet have a single established name. We shall call it information technology (IT)."^[2]

IT is the area of managing technology and spans wide variety of areas that include but are not limited to things such as processes, computer software, information systems, computer hardware, programming languages, and data constructs. In short, anything that render data, information or perceived knowledge in any visual format whatsoever, via any multimedia distribution mechanism, is considered part of the domain space known as Information Technology (IT). IT provides businesses with four sets of core services to help execute the business strategy. These four core services are broken into business process automation, providing information, connecting with customers, and productivity tools.

IT professionals perform a variety of functions (IT Disciplines/Competencies) that ranges from installingapplications to designing complex computer networks and information databases. A few of the duties that IT professionals perform may include data management, networking, engineering computer hardware, database and software design, as well as management and administration of entire systems. Information technology is starting to spread further than the conventional personal computer and network technologies, and more into integrations of other technologies such as the use of cell phones, televisions, automobiles, and more, which is increasing the demand for such jobs.

In the recent past, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology and the Association for Computing Machinery have collaborated to form accreditation and curriculum standards^[3] for degrees in Information Technology as a distinct field of study as compared^[4] to Computer Science and Information Systems today. SIGITE (Special Interest Group for IT Education)^[5] is the ACM working group for defining these standards. The Worldwide IT services revenue totaled $763 billion in 2009.^[6]

ONLINE DEGREE PROGRAMS IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

Information technology allows people to create web sites, databases, software programs, and other applications that will bring information to those who are looking for it. There are many ways to share information including web content, graphic design, multimedia design, data storage, and computer programs. The internet makes use of all of these options, and as it expands, new programs will be needed to store additional information as it becomes available. Students who want to pursue a career in information technology will have to complete the following courses in order to graduate: computer applications, database storage, computer systems, computer science, graphic design, and programming. Students will be able to choose which area of information technology they would like to study and will have to take additional courses in these areas while earning their degree.

The process of storing information relies on creating and maintaining databases that can be updated easily. Company databases and internet databases can both be very large. This can be a problem as there is only so much space on a network system. Implementing a larger network or finding ways to downsize the database are options that those who work in information technology departments will have to consider. Through group interaction, and by using problem solving and critical thinking skills, teams will devise plans that will benefit the company.

Those who are interested in developing computer software or web design will have to take courses in computer systems in order to learn more about computers and what they are capable of. Web applications include web design, web navigation, and how to work on the internet are skills that will be taught. Creating software that will make creating and running web sites is also important. The sharing of information in an open forum is the goal of the internet. Information technology personnel make sure this is possible.
