Benefits Of Applying A Good IT Strategy

By Emma Mathers


People are living in an era of technology explosion. Computer networking and telecommunication is therefore an area which cannot be avoided. Such has been used by people in every level of trade and business and has shown great influence in thriving of any one setup. Having an effective IT Strategy on how to lay them in a position for the benefit of the organization is of key importance.

When coming up with a communication networking system, target recipients should be identified. This goes a long way in determining the type of infrastructure required for such needs. For local use, lesser resources could be allocated. Much should be allocated though if the target clients are far from the source as this requires expensive apparatus.

The size of an organization is another major consideration in determining the infrastructure to be implemented. Cabled networking would suit well a small organization. This is because this type of infrastructure does not require frequent servicing. It does not require specialized personnel also for maintenance hence it is cheap. A large organization however may demand both wireless and cabled system. This is because of the larger number of individuals who access the network tray.

Consider the sensitivity of the information being transmitted. If it is intended for few individuals, then a wireless system has a greater risk of leakage of information. This is due to possibility of hacking. Cabled connection should be used therefore with encryption to reduce chances of falling to the wrong hands. Special devices that encode the data being passed across the system can also be beneficial.

Varying amounts of information is sent via the infrastructure by different firms. A setup that sends large amounts of information should therefore consider using a method that is not easily clogged. Media houses and mobile phone service providers are good examples of these. A system capable of handling a large volume of data in their channels should be preferred.

The cost of operation is also not left out when planning for the suitable system. Specially trained personnel may be required for monitoring of the entire system. The method chosen should therefore not go beyond the means of the organization. Maintenance and manpower resources should be locally available to cut on operational cost.

Consider guidelines and sate laws before choosing a system. These frequencies require an operational permit. Therefore, ensure you have a license to operate it.

Backup measures ought to be laid in place. No system is a hundred percent breakdown proof. When this occurs, there can be loss of valuable information. Therefore a good backup system ought to be in place to prevent such occurrences and to keep the system running when the major one is being restored.

Consider the devices needed by recipient to retrieve the information. It would be of no use to send information which cannot be retrieved by the recipient. Provide devices required for such or use a common method easily retrieved using home appliances. An IT Strategy is vital.
