Perspective on Information Technology

My perspective of information technology is that there are three primary layers: Infrastructure, Applications and Strategy:
  • Infrastructure: The core of any IT environment ranging from your home to a Fortune 50 company. It is comprised of the underlying hardware, firmware and operating systems which control all of your IT systems. Examples of this are routers, switches and servers.

  • Applications: The layer which encapsulates complex program logic to provide easy end user functionality. This is a broad area that spans web pages, databases, end-user applications and full Enterprise Resource Management applications such as PeopleSoft.

  • Strategy: Information Technology strategy is an emerging area in which large corporations, small business and individuals must decide how technology will integrate with their long-term goals. Recently, I have seen IT strategies at all layers; here are some examples. Large companies began integrating mobile web services into their portals because of the upwards trend towards cell phone web servicing. Small businesses plan how they are going to leverage the latest technology developments into their current business model to generate more revenue. Individuals who are building homes or planning to invest in new technology need to understand the current IT trends before spending a single dime.
