Unit 01 - Information Technology
Discussion:
What is Information Technology?
What do Information Technology professionals do?
Reading
Read the statement from the DataPro Inc CEO.
IT Department Restructuring
DataPro Inc. is growing, and so our workload is increasing. But our IT department is not dealing with this increase effectively. So I am dividing the IT department into three sections: quality assurance, data processing and information security. The responsibilities of each section are:
Quality Assurance
Testing hardware
Providing technical support
Data Processing
Writing code
Organizing data
Information Security
Encoding online data transfers
Updating security software
These changes are not simple or easy. But smaller groups deal with tasks more efficiently than larger ones. See your supervisors for your new section assignment.
