    Infrastructure and Business Capabilities

    An I.T infrastructure includes investment in hardware, software, and services – such


    as consulting, education, and training – that are shared across the entire firm or
    across entire business units in the organization. An organization’s I.T infrastructure
    provides the foundation for serving customers, working with vendors, and managing
    internal firm business process.

    The services an organization is capable of providing to its customers, suppliers, and


    employees are direct function of its I.T infrastructure.

    Ideally, this infrastructure should support the organization’s business and


    information systems strategy. New information Technologies have a powerful impact
    on business and I.T strategies, as well as the services that can be provided to
    customers.

    COMPONENTS OF IT INFRASTRUCTURE

    An I.T infrastructure consists of a set of physical devices and software application


    that are required to operate the entire enterprise.

    An I.T infrastructure is also a set of firm wide services budgeted by management


    and comprises both human and technical capabilities. These services include the
    following:

     Computing platforms used to provide computing services that connect


    employees, customers and suppliers into a coherent digital environment,
    including large mainframes, midrange computers, desktop and laptop
    computers, and mobile handheld and remote cloud computing services.
     Telecommunications services that provide data, voice, and video
    connectivity to employees, customers, and suppliers.
     Data management services that stored and manage corporate data and
    provide capabilities for analyzing the data.
     Application software services, including online software services, that
    provide enterprise-wide capabilities such as enterprise resources planning,
    customer relationship management, supply chain management, and
    knowledge systems that are shared by all business units.
     Physical facilities management services that develop and manage the
    physical installation required for computing, telecommunication, and data
    management services.
     I.T management services that plan and develop the infrastructure,
    coordinate with the business units for I.T services, manage accounting for
    I.T expenditure, and provide project management services.
     I.T standards services that provide the firm and its business unit with
    policies that determine which information technology will be used, when and
    how.
     I.T education services that provide training in system use to employees and
    offer managers training in how to plan for and manage I.T investments.

    I.T research development services that provide the firm with research on potential

    future I.T project and investments that could help the firm differentiate itself in the

    marketplace.
