The future is not friendly. With technology on the rise, and the world wide web becoming ever larger in scope, no company (and no entity, for that matter) can ignore Information Technology (IT). IT is described formally as “the acquisition, processing, storage and dissemination of vocal, pictorial, textual and numerical information by a microelectronics-based combination of computing and telecommunications.” So, what does that mean?
Essentially, IT refers to anything performed on a computer. Whether that be simple word processing, or complex coding, it is all IT. An important question to ask is if everyone needs IT. To get more specific, the usefulness of having Management Information Systems (MIS). First, it is necessary to examine how these are implemented.
Simply having a computer is not MIS. Every company must have an individual, or in some cases, a whole team of specialists, managing their IT. As this article explains, the concern is growing over online safety. And not just for children targeted by predators – rather, for anyone and anything on the net. IT must be managed carefully, built with integrity, and protected at all costs.
