What is Information Technology ?

Information Technology involves the processing of information by a computer. Usually this means the use of hardware, software, services, and the supporting infrastructure to manage and deliver information. IT has changed our daily personal lives radically over recent years – the use of mobile phones to make calls and send text messages, the use of websites to book cheap flights and the use of ATM
machines for banking are all an integral part our society today. Clearly the business environment has been hugely impacted by  these developments and practically every company has had to adapt IT in some form in order to compete effectively. eBusiness can be defined as the application of IT to business processes; i.e. the process of doing business with trading partners electronically. This includes, for example, processing business transactions electronically, integrating business processes electronically and transferring payments electronically and delivering services electronically.
