Information Technology (IT)
Organizations are under constant market pressure to employ current and prepare for future technological advances. With the establishment of e-commerce, an organization's success depends heavily on its ability to effectively utilize information technology. Thus, the role of information systems managers in shaping the technological advancement of an organization has increased dramatically. IT managers are often responsible for overseeing networking as well as creating business plans and other managerial duties.

Computer and information systems managers are responsible for computer-related aspects of the organization. With executive collaboration, they establish technology goals and create strategies for achieving them. Information system teams often create new product concepts or work to solve technological problems that stand in the way of product development.

Computer and information systems managers also oversee the work of computer programmers, systems analysts, support technicians, and other computer and IT employees. They plan and direct system design and programming, hardware and software installation, as well as network, intranet and Internet development. In addition they oversee organizational technology requirements and establish equipment and personnel needs. Continued education is essential for IT managers who wish to keep their organization on the cutting edge of advanced technology. Many take advantage of online courses in order to keep up while continuing to work.

Network or computer system administrators create and maintain a company's network segment, LAN, WAN, intranet, and Internet systems. They provide internal software support for employees in various fields, including small business, government offices, large corporations, and professional offices. There responsibilities include troubleshooting, network access and security planning and implementation, and hardware and software maintenance. Gathering information on customer needs allows Network system administrators can adjust and improve network requirements.

Systems administrators ensure network efficiency in their organization. They are responsible for guaranteeing that the organizations network, software, computers, and components function together correctly. Utilizing automated network monitoring services as well as comments from users, systems administrators evaluate network functionality and identify specific changes needed to improve future network performance.

An organization's information security is formulated and executed by computer security specialists. The increase in specialty positions like these is telling of the increased reliance on the Internet, intranet, and network, as well as an increased demand for end-user support.

Often, computer security specialists are responsible for all aspects of an organizations information security, from planning and strategy, to coordination and implementation. The growing number of specialty positions like this has come as a direct result of the increased demand for end-user support, client-server applications, as well as the explosion of Internet and network applications.

Management of information systems (MIS) managers oversee an organizations technology resources and information systems. Duties of an MIS director include management of technical support, directing subordinate IT employees and communicating directly with the chief information officer. In addition MIS directors utilize their understanding of an organization's information systems to make suggestions on software and hardware upgrades.

Computer and information system managers work with executives, marketing and production managers, financial managers, contractors, suppliers and others to plan and coordinate projects and therefore need excellent communication skills.
