Information technology relates to any device that uses computing information such as the internet, hardware, software and networking (Patterson, 2013). Information technology in the modern society is widely used by managers and other administrators to ease their management and communication with employees. Some of the uses of IT networking are bookkeeping, business planning and strategies, retrieving, storing and manipulating data information.
The complexities in an Information technology environment practiced using appropriate technologies, and methodologies include programming, data communication, and analysis design and system control. In Programming, the employees are responsible for using the programmer to identify errors that workers commit and correct them in an appropriate way they also expand and update the existing programs among others.
A properly designed network helps in balancing the objectives of the business also if well implemented the equipment will allow for a cost effective utilization of resources to have a maximum output. The equipment that would be utilized to design and implement a network are, first, a route switch which will manage the movement of the system and ensure that all devices used can exchange communication to each other (Movassaghi, 2014).
Secondly, are the connectors and cables that are designed to connect the printers, servers and computers to the network system to work efficiently and give quality results to the users in the organization. Also, a router is another category of equipment used in an office, and it forms the LAN through its connection with other devices within the building of the business premises to connect to the internet. Further, a hardware called firewall must be installed to create a secure bridge between the network that is used blocking the hackers and security threats using a network server that operates in many applications and offers safe file storage (Frahim,2014)
Finally is a universal internet connection for the departments within the enterprise using a telephone line or a perfect fiber connection wire that will enable them to have a wireless access network while working in the office and serving their clients. By installing one common line of network employees will perform their duties within the required time as the network systems were readily available in their departments making it easy to transfer information from one place to another using their computers.
Information technology security involves protecting all information assets and systems from any damage, disruption or theft by unauthorized people for the business to achieve its goals in servicing their customers. The threats that arise can be constant due to vulnerabilities that emerge from end-user carelessness while handling the machine, outdated network designs being used in the business to operate daily activities and misconfiguration of the software leading to interruption.
The information assurance and security models need to be adhered to by the management in the It section so as to one, maintain their integrity and have a positive image regarding the business performance and services rendered to its customers. A second reason is to ensure that all software is available for use by the workers and finally protects the business confidentiality regarding its services, data collections, accounting systems and future plans (Hannah, 2015).
In conclusion, for managers to ensure that they have maximum output in their business, they should ensure that workers in the organization use modern technology and easily accessible network designs that will enable them to communicate to one another from different departments. They are also required to install networking equipment that will be used in running the software to have a maximum growth of the business
