About Information Technology Management
The use of information technology has brought about a significant transformation in global society today. This technology is regarded as a powerful tool for benefiting from the heritage of human history and existing knowledge.
Information technology is an art that provides the ability to utilize the vast amount of information produced throughout the world. The wide range of applications of information technology can be observed in areas such as e-commerce, incubators and technology parks, virtual education, and more.
The Information Technology Management of Lorestan University, by employing experienced experts and consultants, has been able to advance its position in the field of IT and hopes to take a step towards improving information technology in Lorestan province in collaboration with university members and the esteemed citizens of Lorestan.
The advantages of information technology in the new era, known as the age of information and knowledge, herald a new world with innovative ways of utilizing information and knowledge. In the last decade, information technology, in addition to automating offices and developing paperless offices, virtual organizations, digital organizations, e-commerce, e-banking, e-city, and e-government, has increasingly introduced and made accessible concepts such as knowledge management, information resources, and, above all, e-life.
IT infrastructure is the main goal of information technology, which is to create a new and informed perspective on the use of various technologies to transfer information. The development of information technology (IT) includes the stages of feasibility studies and system analysis to identify the current situation, review and define current needs, options and solutions, logical and physical design, and implementation of information in the context of communication advancements.
The advantages of IT, information technology, and the improvement of communications are not separate from each other, but rather they are both necessary and interdependent. This technology enables individuals and organizations to develop their ability to gather and analyze information. Therefore, it is better for developing countries to align themselves with the increasing advancements of information technology and allocate the necessary budget in their socio-economic development programs, in parallel with the communications revolution and the information explosion. Thus, the advantages of investing in new technologies are briefly stated here: empowering organizations and individuals from the perspective of strategic use of information; updating information and knowledge and creating the ability to analyze information; improving the quality of collaborations; expanding individual and organizational boundaries and the evolution of the knowledge of organizations and individuals; the possibility of expanding information in IT-covered networks; creating the ability to store and retrieve a vast amount of information; freedom of action and economic benefits that come from freedom on the internet; significant savings in costs and time. In addition to the above advantages, there are other advantages that, in addition to changing the course of activities of organizations and companies, even challenge their philosophy of activity. Because individuals and organizations that have entered the field of electronic communications have actually taken steps to eliminate a series of repetitive tasks and redundancies. One of the successful company managers (W.W.GRAINGER) in the field of electronic communications, in relation to changing the philosophy of his company's activity, states that <In electronic sales, our customers are less concerned with discussing the quality or comparing our product with other competing products, but rather discuss and exchange views on the added value of the company's services>.
Considering the change in the global perspective on the determinants of today's civilization and the power of societies and the change in the indicators of development assessment and, more importantly, the necessity of changing the policies of developing countries to escape from a single-product economy, it is necessary to align with the global trend and the changes that have occurred and to use information technology as a powerful platform. To achieve this, it is necessary not to be left behind by the global movement. The factors of technology success, education, support, IT tools and services should always be evaluated in every phase of macro-planning and its economic, social, and cultural impact, or even the analysis of the performance of information technology as an independent industry, should be further investigated.
