Task 1
Why do big companies still fail in their use of Information Technology?
Lack of IT experts is one of the major reasons behind the fall out of the use of IT
across bigger commercial establishment1. At the same time, it can be said that the huge
investment are required to get the latest patches of the IT systems and it is source of concern
for the operational team of the business. Lack of interest and user involvement is the other
reason behind failing the use of IT in global corporate. At the same time, lack of support
coming from the executives of the organization is the other reason behind the rejection of the
use of IT services in the bigger companies.
What should they be doing differently?
Stakeholders of bigger companies must be aware about the capabilities of IT systems
which can optimise the each and every business operation. Detailed description of the IT
systems has to be provide to the stakeholders in the technological training sessions.
