Applied Information Technology’s Important Role in Business
Hardly a day passes by when we do not interface with a cloud application, database or some other network infrastructure. In the minute it takes to read this article, over 600 hours of content was uploaded to YouTube. In that same minute, Amazon can process orders for more than 25,560 products.
At the heart of today’s economy are IT strategies and infrastructure that support modern business. This new business environment requires an IT workforce that is well educated and prepared to take on tough challenges. Imagine the cost to Amazon if the company could not process orders for one second; that equates to 426 items that weren’t sold and thousands of dollars in lost revenue!
