3 By: L.Norah alsufyan =) Data vs. Information There is different between data and information. In fact, Information is created from data.

4 By: L.Norah alsufyan =) Data vs. Information Data is raw, unorganized facts that need to be processed. Data can be something simple and seemingly random and useless until it is organized. When data is processed, organized, structured or presented in a given context so as to make it useful, it is called information. Knowledge: An awareness and understanding of a set of information and how that information can be put to the best use.

6 By: L.Norah alsufyan =) What Is Technology Technology is humans using objects (tools, machines, systems, and materials) to change the natural and human-made environment. Technology is developed by people to modify their environment. Technology is evolving every months , so company must keep up with the newest technology to earn customer satisfaction and make profit.

7 Defining Information Technology
By: L.Norah alsufyan =) Defining Information Technology IT stands for "Information Technology," and is pronounced "I.T."

8 Defining Information Technology
By: L.Norah alsufyan =) Defining Information Technology Information technology is “ Using technology (especially computers and telecommunications) for storing, retrieving, processing and sending information”. Success in business is largely determined by the effectiveness with which information technology is used.

15 The Functions Of Information Technology
By: L.Norah alsufyan =) The Functions Of Information Technology There are six main functions for information technology which are : Capture Process Generate Store and retrieve Transmit

16 The Functions Of Information Technology

17 The Functions Of Information Technology
By: L.Norah alsufyan =) Capture: This is the process of compiling information Example: AMAZON.COM use internet cookies to capture data about a customer’s purchases via their website. Processing: The process of converting, analyzing, computing, and producing all forms of data, information. Information Processing Image Processing Voice Processing

18 The Functions Of Information Technology
By: L.Norah alsufyan =) Generation: The process of organizing information into a useful form, whether as numbers, text, sound, or visual image. Storage and Retrieval: Storage is the computer process of retaining information for future use. Retrieval is the process by which a computer locates and copies stored data or information for further processing or for transmission to another user. Example : Search Engine like Google , Bing , Yahoo ” these companies have data centers which store information which can be used at a latter stage by the end user who will be searching for information online. Transmission: The computer process of distributing information over a communications network. Electronic Mail, or Voice Messaging, or Voice Mail

19 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.”

20 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.

21 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

22 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. جدير بالثقة

26 By: L.Norah alsufyan =) Conclusion There is different between data and information. In fact, Information is created from data. Information Technology Is All Around Us, Improving Our Lives Company , organization, university and government must adopt Information technology to survive in these technical world. There are six main functions for information technology which are capture, process, generate , store ,retrieve and transmit. There are four main benefits for Information technology which are speed, consistency, precision ,reliability . new careers have been emerged because of of IT. However, there are some careers have been vanished
