ICT Management For Modern Businesses

The current technology cycle is actually a new generation of technological devices, offering plethora opportunities and challenges to both organization and governments. Information and communication technology or ICT is a general term used in communication devices and applications, including: cellular Phones, radio, television, computers and networks (both hardware and software), satellite applications (including distance learning and video conferencing) and the various services and application associated with these devices.

ICT management is becoming vital to managing utilities like cloud computing and it must focus on supporting the holistic objectives of organizations implementing an EA. Factually, shared data have less value than reusable data as it has a direct impact on system reliability. Why we need ICT management and where it must be implemented to support several business objectives.

Where do we need ICT?


A recent survey report shows that in USA only almost every government agency needs a proper management. Here are two very important government sectors where we must implement ICT such as:

Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR)


Recent surveys of government agencies around the world including USA, UK, and Dubai indicate in most cases limited or no disaster management or continuity of operations planning. In addition to that the risk of data loss due to natural or man-made disasters is very high, and the ability to recover from such loss is really restricted in terms of recovery time objective/RTO (it is a point when any government agency resume its services after a disaster occurred and the point of data restoral RPO).
Implementation: In recent ICT environments, it is now possible to extend RTOs and RPOs to near indefinite where data backup plan and system restoral resource capacity is not present.

Benefits of ICT:


Implementing information communication technology can positive change in your business and has the ability to thoroughly change the business perspective. It will make decision making really easy and increase productivity.

Decision Making:


ICT systems enable enterprises to process, analyze, share and store big data blocks. ICT systems ensure availability of essential corporate data for managers and employees to make quick and accurate decisions also enable them to manage operations effectively and respond wisely to business opportunities or threats. In addition to that ICT, system can bring decision makers from remote locations to one table to take a joint decision.

Increase productivity:


ICT tools can automate business processes and gives employees a freedom to perform tasks. For example, on the production line computer-aided design can improve manufacturing accuracy and reduce the reworking time. Fast access to manufacturing data will enable managers to plan production effectively, help them in using resources in a better way and also reduce load times.

In short, ICT management is vital for existing business especially when they have to retain their huge customer base; it will help an enterprise in managing its resources more accurately and can increase their productivity.
