Information Technology Law

Information Technology (“IT”) includes the systems and structures used in handling and retrieving information by automatic means, such as computers and telecommunications.

Consider the impact IT has on an organization’s performance:

  • IT provides great business value to an organization, yet its precise value is often uncertain. An organization which knows the true business value of its IT investment can operate faster, more reliably and with less expense.
  • An organization with clear objectives and a desire to improve its operations with innovative IT solutions will have the benefit of measurable and advantageous results.
  • Spending more money on sophisticated IT products does not necessarily translate into better economic results. The best results come from combining strong management practices, a flexible infrastructure and the ongoing monitoring of the organization’s IT investment.
