7. Evolution of IT
Robert L. Nolan presents a
framework on evolution of IT
• Data processing era
• Information Technology era
• Network era
8. Evolution of IT

Net working era
Information
technology era
1960 1980 1995 2010
9. Evolution of IT
Organisations were functional
hierarchies
Work methods and procedures were
