The Top Six Information Technology Benefits

No matter what industry you serve, there’s one clear fact: your business can’t function without IT. Information Technology benefits organizations from the ground up, from your ability to call a customer to ordering the snacks for your break room.

What is Information Technology?

Information technology (IT) is the study and use of computers or any kind of telecommunications that store, study, transmit, send, retrieve, and manipulate data and information. IT is a combination of the people, software, internet, and hardware that automate and perform core, essential tasks within an organization.

IT professionals, commonly known as IT techs or technicians, study and work with organizations to help them understand what types of technology they need and the advantages of IT, then help those businesses set up their technological solutions, maintain them, and service them.

Why is Information Technology Important?

Information technology is an important part of every business, regardless of size. Whether it’s the point-of-sale machines at your cash register or the PC's your salespeople use to connect with potential customers across the globe, the advantages of IT play a major role in nearly every decision you make. IT influences how you gather and use data, how you hire and track employees, how you communicate, and even how you advertise.

What are the Information Technology Benefits for Business?

Information technology benefits everyone personally, from the way you shop to the way you gather information. It plays an important role in organizations, too, streamlining processes and keeping your business connected and running smoothly.

Let’s look at the advantages of IT as they affect your business.

1. Increased Data Security
IT has forever changed the way businesses store files. It is safer to store information in a secure computer database than to leave it (and lose it) in physical files.

One of the advantages of information technology is the ability to encrypt data, to require authentication to access it, and to lock it away under layers of security so bad actors can’t easily get to it.

Your business will have some level of protection from lawsuits stemming from data breaches if it is proven that it has taken the appropriate cybersecurity measures.

2. Information Technology Can Help Your Business Save Money
One of the biggest information technology benefits will be seen in your organization’s bank account: IT saves businesses money. How?

IT can increase productivity by streamlining processes. Routine reports and tasks that would traditionally require manual research and documentation are available at the click of a mouse.

IT will save money on postage. Seems a simple concept, but the old days of physical mailers are a thing of the past. Email is faster and more efficient than standard postal solutions.

IT saves money by simplifying, migrating, and outsourcing high price functions such as payroll, supply chain purchases, and even customer support.

3. Information Technology Benefits Communication
We discussed saving money by not having to send physical communications through the mail, but consider this: cloud computing now allows your employees to communicate with each other, with customers, and with the world. Smartphones and VoIP have cut the cord of traditional landlines and allowed unprecedented freedom for employees to work from anywhere, and email is an instant interaction that gets immediate answers.

You can communicate with customers and prospective clients via social media and targeted ads, and, thanks to information technology, you can sell your products to a much wider audience than ever before.

4. Improved Productivity
Your workplace will see the advantages of information technology in increased productivity and efficiency. These advantages include:

* Instant access to files
* Immediate feedback on collaborative projects
* Videoconferencing and real time communication
* Project management tools
* Do-it-yourself portals for payroll, password management, and more
* Automated processes and data analysis
* Faster results and faster task resolution

5. A Wider Talent Net is One of the Biggest Advantages of Information Technology
If there’s one thing businesses have learned, it’s that remote work is the face of the modern workplace. Remote work is an information technology advantage all its own, but it has even wider implications. Your talent pool just got a lot deeper.

Traditionally, you were limited in your hires by geographical location. Now, with information technology fueling businesses, you can hire the best fit for your job posting…wherever they are.

6. Achieving Coordination and Uniformity
With informational technology, tasks can be organized, coordinated, and uniform. It’s far easier to follow procedure when there is a procedure, and information technology provides a framework for tasks and projects that everyone on the team can follow.

MEET THE TEAM

Kea Swanepoel: Office Mascot & Motivator

Office Nickname: Hondjie, Poepies

Qualifications: Graduated from school of cuteness

Tell us something about yourself: I was the smallest and weakest of brothers and sisters. Nobody liked me because, apparently, people like Jack Russell’s with a mostly white colour and my head is mostly brown. As a payment for petrol, I was given to my mommy and daddy. My name has nothing to do with the car manufacturer, Kia. My name is Hawaiian and means ‘white’ because of my white body. I shriek of excitement when my mommy throws the ball.

Likes: Playing catch, walkies, attention, belly rubs and pats, treats galore, barking…I love barking. Hunting gecko’s and lizards. Rolling in Hadeda poo for extra smells, my mom hates it when I do it.

Dislikes: Hate it when my mommy bathes me and brushes my teeth, the vacuum, the blower, the lawnmower.

Strengths: I am cute, ‘windgat’ and enjoy being confident when I am on the leash walking and when I am in my home. Persistent in getting my way when I want a treat or play fetch.

Weakness: My ears sometimes don’t work….okay most of the time. I am quite demanding. I sometimes not so good at my job being a motivator

Hobbies: Looking cute, motivating my mommy and daddy by giving them attention and cute puppy eye looks

Last book you’ve read/currently reading: The back of my favourite box of treats, Cuthbert’s Peanut Butter Rounds Bites

MEET THE TEAM

Lizelle Swanepoel: Administrator & Accounts

Office Nickname: Pinky

Qualifications: Diploma in Tourism

Tell us something about yourself: I am an introvert that lives in my head. In 2022 I was diagnosed with lymphoma but am in remission as of April 2023. I have learnt the value of life and am now trying to live in the present, not take life for granted and going for my dreams and aspirations

Favourite quote: If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. It was Benjamin Franklin who said, “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” What he meant was that basically success doesn't happen by accident. It takes planning, knowing where you are heading and how you will get there

Likes: Lindt salted and salted caramel dark chocolates, a good Merlot, good steak, dogs

Dislikes: Injustice, GBV, abuse of women, children, and animals

Strengths: Organisational skills, time management, resilience

Weakness: Overanalysing, way too good at it! Conveying what is in my head into words. Too detailed orientated that borders perfectionistic tendencies

MEET THE TEAM

Francois Swanepoel: Owner

Office Nickname: Brain, Mr Fix-It

Qualifications: NQF6 Informatics/MCSE/MCITP/MCTS

Tell us something about yourself: I have half a Logistical Degree after studying 2 years. Unable to pay for Varsity fees, a friend of mine said an IT company is looking for Helpdesk staff. No skill required and good money. So obviously I said yes. I just needed to write a small exam to test my skill level. I got 100% on the test, was accused of cheating and had to re-take a different test also scoring 100%. So, it was there I decided to change gears and study IT.

Favourite quote: “Stay Liquid, Fill the Gaps.” – It’s a wide used United States SWAT mantra and aligns with the concept of the team dispersing but remaining unified, making sure to cover each other's backs and fill in the gaps in their objective.

Likes: Coffee….lots of Coffee, African Sunsets, A Good Single Malt & prime cut of Beef

Dislikes: Two wrongs don’t make a right. The fact that someone has done something unjust or dishonest is no justification for acting in a similar way.

Weakness: Don’t say No very often

Hobbies: Sports Shooting, 4x4, Adventure Touring, 3D Printing, Lego

Last book you’ve read/currently reading: The Right Kind of Crazy by Clint Emerson

Change......

Change in itself is not a bad thing; it is our perspective that interprets the change as good or bad. But change is good. A good metaphor for change is that of a sailboat.

We are adjusting our sails, implementing changes and strategies to create a lasting legacy, reach new destinations and accomplish our goals.
