Answer:
ReplyDeleteIT helps people from different departments, levels, and physical locations more easily communicate and share information. IT-intensive organizations are able to and operate with fewer levels than their more traditional counterparts as information systems replace people whose jobs were devoted primarily to moving it around.
IT is also breaking barriers between organizations and key elements in the external environment as it plays an important role in customer relationship management by quickly and accurately providing information regarding customer needs, preferences, and satisfactions. It helps in supply chain management to better manage and control costs everywhere from initiation of purchase, to logistics and transportation, to point of delivery and ultimate use. And it helps maintain linkages with outsourcing clients and other strategic partners.
