Read the text Information and IT technology and do the tasks. INFORMATION AND IT TECHNOLOGY Management issues The basic issues in information technology (IT) management are: increasing the stability of the system to reduce down-time ensuring that information is secure and backed-up (use of encryption, firewalls to keep out hackers, viruses, spyware, etc) Beyond that, the following may be important issues at different times: Tension between the IT department and other business units. How are business requirements translated into an IT solution? How is the efficiency of IT spending measured? Do the business people understand the technology? Should the software be a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) package or a tailor-made solution? If the latter, then what degree of customization is needed? How well does the new IT integrate with the old (= legacy) systems? How good is the documentation? Is training necessary? What level of integration is appropriate? Should the organization use just one standard of software (eg SAP/Oracle) and/or hardware (eg IBM/HP)? Trends Predicting the future of information and communication technology (ICT) is notoriously difficult, but several trends appear to be happening: Computing power is moving away from the local PC to the network (delivered where and when it is needed). Software is also moving to the network: companies are leasing it online for a monthly fee instead of buying it. Wireless connectivity is becoming possible between more and more devices. Bandwidth is increasing. Processing power and storage capacity keep increasing, while prices keep going down. Open-source platforms (designed and improved by users, owned by no-one) are becoming more common. Profitability is becoming an issue for vendors as IT becomes widespread and standardized. Integrating and managing IT systems is becoming more important than selling new products. Back-office functions (eg payroll) and software development are being outsourced to low-cost countries. There is the development of an 'Internet of things' -pervasive computing - where everyday objects have embedded processing power with a connection to the Net. There is a convergence between traditionally separate media. жүктеу/скачать 3,86 Mb. Достарыңызбен бөлісу:
