    IT Department

    IT Department is responsible for providing the infrastructure for automation. It implements the governance for the use of network and operating systems, and it assists the operational units by providing them the functionality they need. It's important to note that although the IT department implements and facilitates the flow of information, it doesn't create the policy that defines which information is correct or accessible to others.

    The Three Major IT Functions

    • Governance
    • Infrastructure
    • Functionality

    IT Network Responsibilities

    Our IT department oversees the installation and maintenance of computer network systems within a company. Its primary function is to ensure that the network runs smoothly.

    Our IT department evaluate and install the proper hardware and software necessary to keep the network functioning properly. This includes working within a budget that allocates the amount of money the company can afford on network devices and software. IT department make sure that the equipment it invests in both optimally serves the needs of the company without going over budget.

    Networks can be simple or extremely complex depending upon their size and composition. In addition to staying current on trends within business technology.

    Network Contingencies

    Once a network system go down, the repercussions can be costly -- not just to the company and its operations, but outside entities that require products or services from the company. These outside entities could be affected and lose faith in the company's ability to provide them with what they need. Our IT department put a crisis plan in place that can be implemented should the system go down. It designed to put the network back up quickly or allow it to switch over to an alternate system until the necessary repairs are completed.

    Through the maintenance and planning of a network system, our IT department forge professional relationships with outside vendors and industry experts. This helps the department employees perform their duties more efficiently as well as stay current on the latest technology that might be beneficial to the company for which they work.

    Application Development

    Quite often, company see the main role of the IT department as creating the ERP applications that serve its core business needs. The right applications allow a business to be innovative, more productive, efficient, and to move ahead of its competitors. In many ways, this makes our IT department crucial to the success of a business.

    Our expertise necessary to create the applications that can set a business apart from the others requires an IT department with programmers, analysts, interface designers, database administrators, testers, and other professionals. Our employees become quite knowledgeable about the operations of the business itself. As a result, they become valuable to other departments outside IT.

    Telecommunication

    Most people are aware that the IT department focuses on the success of computer operations and other information technologies needs within a business. However, with many new forms of electronic communication replacing older technology, communication is being redefined and is now referred to as "telephony." This includes point to point phone calls as well as conference calls. Video and web conference also fall under this category and include other forms of technology necessary to facilitate communication: network drives, electronic mail (email), and secure servers.

    Our IT department fully understand how these systems work and interact with each other. The department must also ensure that these systems remain operational at all times.

    Company Website

    Our IT department is responsible for creating and maintaining the company's website. It designs the layout, creates the code, and tests the site for usability. Depending upon the needs of the company, IT department can design the site for information only, or create a completely interactive commercial site that can sell products directly to consumers.

    Technical Support

    Employees are familiar with having to contact with IT department for computer support. The IT department provides this service for all the users who need access to the company's computer systems. This might entail installing new software or hardware, repairing hardware that has become faulty, training employees in the use of new software, and troubleshooting problems with the system or with an individual's computer.

    It's apparent that not all the IT department does is apparent - it creates and maintains so many systems that go unseen or unrecognized by employees. These services, however, are integral to the success of a business. Though they may not be appreciated when business is running smoothly, their importance is greatly recognized when something goes wrong.
