to day business transactions. The users are usually qualified professionals such as
accountants, human resource managers, etc. The ICT department usually has
the support staff who ensure that the system is running properly.

devices, etc. The hardware provides the computing power for processing
data. It also provides networking and printing capabilities. The hardware
speeds up the processing of data into information.
• Software – these are programs that run on the hardware. The software is
broken down into two major categories namely system software and
applications software. System software refers to the operating system i.e.
Windows, Mac OS, and Ubuntu, etc. Applications software refers to
