Functions of IT Managers.

(I work in IT, I perform hardware and software issues) Think about a business or a department you consider to be especially well managed. This could be where you currently work or have worked in the past. It might also be a business that provides services you use regularly or one with which you’ve had a positive experience. What, specifically, does the level of service you receive or the seamlessness of the company’s way of operating say about the effectiveness of its managers? In this Discussion, you will share an example of managerial functions within a particular organization and how those functions add value to the organization.(https://class.waldenu.edu/bbcswebdav/institution/USW1/201970_03/BS_BUSI/BUSI_1002_WC/readings/USW1_BUSI_1002_Week02_Lussier_2017_Chapter08_241-251.pdf) Post a 150- to 225-word (2- to 3-paragraph) description of the main functions of managers within a selected organization.

Functions of IT Managers
I worked for an IT firm to handle the software and hardware issues for the technology
department. IT governance is essential within the company’s strategic versus support
infrastructure. Proper IT governance does enhance the productivity and creativity of an
organization towards the achievement of its goals since key decisions are not made on an
individual basis. IT managers are responsible for the verification and harmonization of the IT
initiatives to ensure the success of the company. There are various roles that IT managers do play
within the company’s strategic versus support infrastructure (Özleblebici & Çetin, 2015).
To begin with, IT managers are very important in decision making. In an organization, it
is always essential to make fast and key decisions during a crisis, and these are the decisions that
aid the organization in attaining its goals.
Secondly, the IT manager reviews the distribution of IT funds in the organization. Like
any other department, one cannot allocate funds in a field that he or she has very minimal
knowledge in (Zsolnai, Junghagen, & Tencati, 2012).
The IT manager also helps to coordinate the IT department with other user departments
such as finance department in a company. Through coordination with the user departments, the
manager educates and evaluates the staff members on Information technology. Through this, the
manager also gets various ideas that enable him to come up with an appropriate strategy for IT
governance. It is very important for the IT manager to come up with the best strategy for IT
governance because it is only through this that the manager understands the needs of other
departments and improve on them for the betterment of the organization’s performance (Azad et
al., 2017).
