We will first describe hardware, software, databases, and networks the team members observed. Then, we will recommend improvements to existing systems. We will also evaluate how the changing business environment has affected the decisions team members’ organizations have made in their use of information technology. Finally. we will compare the various the organizations’ technological capabilities.

Next is a discussion of the work performed by the group on IT and communications in enterprises. We consider the following two aspects, the use of IT as a platform for information management and communication, the interaction of IT team members and IT IT employees and the need to integrate IT technology with IT services. These issues and other aspects of the data science and information management space have also been discussed here including the role of data in data science and information management and how the data science and information management spaces provide an integrated support system for data scientists and information managers (see below).
1. Management practices and the use of Information Technology in Organizations ‑
This section examines the various features of information management and organization’s IT practices that are in turn supported in IT. It also explores the role of information in business in enterprises, both within the IT work force, and with others outside of the IT workforce. For more on:
The use of IT knowledge, tools, resources, and services within IT, see:

In this book, we discuss the work performed on the Use of Information Technology (UIS) that has been supported within the IT departments by the US government, some small tech companies, organizations with large data centers, and government organizations—for more specific details. It is important to note that this work comes from the Information Technology Foundation’s Office of Technology Policy and Services (OTSIP) in the US Government (see the Department of Defense Web site at www.d-e.mil.). The following table is used to reference our previous book (UIS 2012, pp. 43–49):

Table below summarizes hardware, software, database, networks and platform ware we observed.CompanyHardwareSoftwarePlatformwareDatabaseNetworksUnileverOptical ViewAgilentMS WordWindows XPOracleInternet/IntranetServersMS AccessStorage DevicesThe hardware is the physical component of a computer, which encompasses the digital circuitry. Hardware does not change that often it’s usually a stable fixture unlike software and data which can be modified to serve the end users needs. Firmware a type of software seldom if ever needs to be changed it’s stored on the hardware, this item is read-only-memory or (ROM) since it is infrequently changed it is firm instead of soft. Computer hardware is not seen by the end user. It is implanted in systems like automobiles, microwave ovens, compact disc players and other machines and devises.
The classic personal computer has a case or chassis it’s a desktop or tower shape and includes these parts: Motherboard with space for upgrade cards and these additional parts:
Central processing unit (CPU), Random Access Memory (Ram) for short term data storage and program execution, Basic input / output system (BIOS), Buses: PCI bus, PCI-E or ACP bus, USB, CD, DVD, Floppy disk, Internal storage, This just a mention of a few of the features of course there are many more parts that comprise the hardware.
Software part of the computer structure encompasses the encoded information or computer instruction in contrast to the hardware that is used to store and process information.
Platform software includes the basic input-output system or firmware a graphical user interface which lets a user interact with the computer and its peripherals. Platform software comes with the computer. Applications software are what people think when they think of software, examples are office suite, videos games. Application software runs independently of the computer and is purchased separately in most cases and might be suited for a particular platform.
User written software is modified systems to meet the end user’s particular needs. Some examples are spreadsheets templates, word processors, scientific simulations, graphics, animation scripts, and brochures templates. Users create the software themselves depending on how good the integration is it could appear to have been purchased.
Database are a collection of data defined as a collection of records or parts of knowledge. There is a structural description of the kind of facts in the database this is called a schema. The schema identifies subjects in the database and their correlation to each other; there are a number of ways to organize a schema. The most frequently used model is the relational model, consisting of rows and columns. The hierarchical and network models use
