2. 1. INCREASED DATA SECURITY
IT has forever changed the way businesses store
files. It is safer to store information in a secure
computer database than to leave it (and lose it) in
physical files.
One of the advantages of information technology
is the ability to encrypt data, to
require authentication to access it, and to lock it
away under layers of security so bad actors can’t
easily get to it.
Your business will have some level of protection
from lawsuits stemming from data breaches if it is
proven that it has taken the appropriate
cybersecurity measures.
3. 2. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY CAN HELP YOUR
BUSINESS SAVE MONEY
One of the biggest information technology benefits will be seen in your organization’s bank account: IT
saves businesses money. How?
IT can increase productivity by streamlining processes. Routine reports and tasks that would traditionally
require manual research and documentation are available at the click of a mouse.
IT will save money on postage. Seems a simple concept, but the old days of physical mailers are a thing of
the past. Email is faster and more efficient than standard postal solutions.
IT saves money by simplifying, migrating, and outsourcing high price functions such as payroll, supply
chain purchases, and even customer support.
4. 3. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY BENEFITS
COMMUNICATION
We discussed saving money by not having to send physical
communications through the mail, but consider this: cloud
computing now allows your employees to communicate with
each other, with customers, and with the world.
Smartphones and VoIP have cut the cord of traditional
landlines and allowed unprecedented freedom for
employees to work from anywhere, and email is an instant
interaction that gets immediate answers.
You can communicate with customers and prospective
clients via social media and targeted ads, and, thanks to
information technology, you can sell your products to a
much wider audience than ever before.
5. 4. IMPROVED PRODUCTIVITY
Your workplace will see the advantages of information
technology in increased productivity and efficiency.
These advantages include:
• Instant access to files
• Immediate feedback on collaborative projects
• Videoconferencing and real time communication
• Project management tools
• Do-it-yourself portals for payroll, password
management, and more
• Automated processes and data analysis
• Faster results and faster task resolution
6. 5. A WIDER TALENT NET IS ONE OF THE
BIGGEST ADVANTAGES OF INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY
If there’s one thing businesses have learned, it’s that remote work is the face
of the modern workplace. Remote work is an information technology
advantage all its own, but it has even wider implications. Your talent pool just
got a lot deeper.
Traditionally, you were limited in your hires by geographical location. Now,
with information technology fueling businesses, you can hire the best fit for
your job posting…wherever they are.
7. 6. ACHIEVING COORDINATION AND
UNIFORMITY
With informational technology, tasks can be organized, coordinated, and
uniform. It’s far easier to follow procedure when there is a procedure, and
information technology provides a framework for tasks and projects that
everyone on the team can follow.
8. 7. EASE OF MOBILITY
Have you ever imagined your life without a car or a motorbike?
Certainly not because technology has brought such things under our
feet. It is easy to judge the value of a vehicle from the fact that the
distance between the United States of America and Australia is
approximately 15,187 kilometers but you can fly in only 16-17 hours.
Much less than in a day and trust me, these 16-17 hours of your life
you will not ever regret. All this has been made possible by planes,
electric trains and vehicles that are being invented every single day.
9. 8. GLOBALIZATION
Digital technology has eliminated the
physical barriers between nations through
their mutual ideas and opportunities. The
rise of social media has encouraged
communication, and the use of Facebook,
Twitter and many other social networking
platforms has allowed culturally diverse
people to connect with each other. Users
on the social media are now becoming
‘global ‘people.
10. 9. LEARNING TECHNIQUES
Bring a little fun into your classroom. You can develop your
teaching skills and incorporate research approaches that will
offer your students inspiration. Most apps and electronic devices
are implemented to help educate the students. An individual can
be amazed by the simplest example of a calculator. The solution
comes with only one click, with several calculations and different
binary operations.
