Information technology is the theory and practice of using computers to store and analyse information. The abbreviation IT is often used. the information technology industry. The development, installation, and implementation of computer systems and applications. IT the study or use of electronic processes for gathering and storing information and making it available using computers
acquisition, processing, storage and dissemination of all types of information using computer technology and telecommunication systems
is a term that encompasses all forms of technology used to create, store, exchange, and use information in its various forms (business data, voice conversations, still images, motion pictures, multimedia presentations, and other forms, including those not yet conceived) A convenient term for including both telephony and computer technology in the same word, IT is the technology that is driving what has often been called "the information revolution " IT includes matters concerned with furthering computer science and technology, design, development, installation, and implementation of information systems and applications

The wide range of electronic devices and tools used to acquire, record, store, transfer, or transform data or information
The use of modern technology to handle information - it basically means using a computer to do stuff
Computer hardware and software; voice, data, network, satellite and other telecommunications technologies; and multimedia and application development tools These technologies are used for the input, storage, processing, and communication of information
Term that encompasses all forms of technology used to create, store, exchange, and manipulate information in its various forms (business data, voice input, still images, motion pictures, multimedia presentations, and other forms including those not yet conceived) The term is often used for encompassing both telephony and computer technology together Information Technology is driving what has often been called "the information revolution "
Includes all matters concerned with the furtherance of computer science and technology and with the design, development, installation, and implementation of information systems and applications [San Diego State University] An information technology architecture is an integrated framework for acquiring and evolving IT to achieve strategic goals It has both logical and technical components Logical components include mission, functional and information requirements, system configurations, and information flows Technical components include IT standards and rules that will be used to implement the logical architecture
Computer and communications hardware and software used to automate and augment clerical, administrative, and management tasks in organizations
The hardware and software that processes information, regardless of the technology involved, whether computers, telecommunications, or others
Information Technology (sometimes called IT) is a term that covers all forms of technology used to create, store, transmit, interpret, and manipulate information in its various formats
The application of science to the processing of data according to programmed instructions in order to derive results In the widest sense, IT includes all information and all technology; in a much narrower sense, telecommunications technology is excluded - or for some particular reason needs to be emphasised See also Information and Communications Technology
Also often called ICT (Information and Communications Technology) and C and IT (Communication and Information Technologies) The broad subject concerned with all aspects of managing and processing information, on databases or in libraries, especially within large organisations
Any equipment or interconnected system or subsystem of equipment, that is used in the automatic acquisition, storage, manipulation, management, movement, control, display, switching, interchange, transmission, or reception of data or information The term information technology includes computers, ancillary equipment, software, firmware and similar procedures, services (including support services), and related resources
The broad subject concerned with all aspects of managing and processing information, especially within a large organization or company Because computers are central to information management, computer departments within companies and universities are often called IT departments Some companies refer to this department as IS (Information Services) or MIS (Management Information Services) Many companies are discovering that it is more cost-effective to outsource these departments
Includes both hardware and software Use this term when the use of information technology is the underlying driver of the "interesting" feature or of the organization's profitability or productivity This term can include computer modeling, simulation, innovative uses of A I , automated knowledge discovery, data mining, data warehousing (Technology)
IT encompasses all forms of technology used to create, store, exchange, and use information in its various forms (e g business data, voice conversations, still images, motion pictures and multimedia presentations)
Modern high- throughput technologies are providing vast amounts of sequence, expression, and functional data for genes and proteins One of the most difficult challenges is turning this enormous pool of information into useful scientific insight and novel therapeutic products Faster discovery of more effective drugs is plausible with the integration of biological, chemical, and clinical information Sophisticated high- performance information technology (IT) solution architectures- infrastructures and applications- are needed to collect, store, analyze, manage, and share the enormous amount of data that is being created Dr Srini Chari, IBM Corp " An Information Technology Solution Architecture and Framework for Life Sciences" Genome Tri- Conference: Human Genome Discovery Feb 25- 27, 2002 Santa Clara CA
Electronic equipment that stores, sends, retrieves, or manages information It includes computers, networks, electronic databases, CD-ROMs, laserdiscs, video cameras, tape-recorders, and fax machines
(Technologie de l'information) - Information technology refers to the scientific, technological and engineering disciplines as well as to the management technologies used in information handling, communication and processing, their applications and associated software and equipment and their interaction
the creation of computer systems and applications, especially those that move data around a computer network, between clients and servers, or over the Internet
Information and communications technology or information and communication technology (ICT), is often used as an extended synonym for information technology (IT), but is a more specific term that stresses the role of unified communications and the integration of telecommunications (telephone lines and wireless signals), computers as well as necessary enterprise software, middleware, storage, and audio-visual systems, which enable users to access, store, transmit, and manipulate information
