18. The Benefits of Information Technology
By: L.Norah alsufyan =)
The Benefits of Information Technology
There are four main benefits for Information technology which are :
Speed
Consistency
Precision
Reliability
Information consistency refers to text, images, and other content remaining the same regardless of how and
where they are presented. In other words, though the presentation may vary with the media, the content remains
the same. This holds true whether it’s a printed publication, a Web page, mobile device, or a word processing
format— to name just a few.
Ensuring this consistency frequently involves managing several different formats and multiple source documents.
A change at any one point requires changes at all other points. As the number of presentation formats and source
documents increase, so does the percentage of errors and inconsistencies, since the original author does not
always perform the changes. Ownership of the content and responsibility for maintaining consistency can become
muddied in this process. As one Webmaster explained,
“They [content developers] rely on us [technical
team] because we have always done this, if the text doesn’t read right, we’ll have to rewrite it ... so it falls
on us.”

19. The Benefits of Information Technology
By: L.Norah alsufyan =)
The Benefits of Information Technology
Speed
Users of information technology can use tools like computers to perform different tasks faster, such as: calculation and filtering .
Computer can perform multiple functions on the same time which can not be done by humans.
Computers have applications which can store data in a systematic way making it easy to understand and organize important facts.
Organizations can use internet to interact with their customers in real time and respond to their needs.

20. The Benefits of Information Technology
By: L.Norah alsufyan =)
The Benefits of Information Technology
Consistency
The information will be consistent in all departments or branches of the company.
Example : you can use your order number to track your order in real time.
Precision or accuracy
The information will be accurate.
Even though information technology is managed by humans, it is more likely to be more accurate than humans.
Example : computers never make mistakes in calculation.
Branchs

21. The Benefits of Information Technology
By: L.Norah alsufyan =)
The Benefits of Information Technology
Reliability
Information technology systems can run 24hrs 7 days a week.
These systems can only be interrupted for repairs and maintenance which takes just a few hours and the system will be up for use.
This is a win-win process for both organizations and customers who need the service in time.
Let’s take a simple example of a Bank.
This is a financial institution whose services are needed by the end-user on time. Banks use IT systems to deliver services like remote banking so customers can easily deposit money, withdraw money or print out bank statements without coming to a physical main branch of that bank.
IT experts make sure that these remote ATM machines and other remote banking systems are running all the time, they can do maintenance in the late hours when users are not active so that they do not interrupt the service when needed by the user.
