Information technology, and the hardware and software associated with

the IT industry, are an integral part of nearly every major global industry.

The information technology (IT) industry has become of the most robust
industries in the world. IT, more than any other industry or economic facet, has
an increased productivity, particularly in the developed world, and therefore is a
keydriver of global economic growth. Economies of scale and insatiable demand
from both consumers and enterprises characterize this rapidly growing sector.

The Information Technology Association of America (ITAA) explains 'information

technology' as encompassing all possible aspects of information systems based
on computers.

Both software development and the hardware involved in the IT industry include
everything from computer systems, to the design, implementation, study and
development of IT and management systems.

Owing to its easy accessibility and the wide range of IT products available, the
demand for IT services has increased substantially over the years. The IT sector
has emerged as a major global source of both growth and employment.
