What is IT?

IT, pronounced eye-tee, is an acronym for information technology. At one time it was a more specific term, it now broadly encompasses computer hardware, software and related systems.
For you and your organization this might mean:
  • Computers: workstations, laptops and servers
  • Operating systems like Windows, Mac and Linux
  • Software programs
  • Printers, copiers
  • Scanners, cameras
  • Networking including cables, switches and routers
  • Internet connections
  • Web sites, FTP sites
  • Phones systems including voice mail, auto-attendant and cell phones
  • Other devices that might interface with your computer system
Or as many people summarize it: computer stuff.
