• In simple terms IES is a type of outsourced service that
involves the use of IT. The most common examples of ITeS
that you come across in your day-to-day life are called
centres, back offices, content development and logistics
management.
For each ITeS service, there are two things involved:
1. Technology that enables the service
2. A communication device
APPLICATIONS OF IT
Everyaspect of our daily routine has altered
