2IMPACT OF IT WITHIN MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS OF TELSTRA
1. Introduction
Information Technology (IT) could be defined as the use of computer resources for
performing several kinds of tasks within the context of business or any other enterprise. IT forms
the base within the telecommunication industry, such as Telstra. The organization requires a high
support of IT based solutions for their basic operations. The management systems of Telstra also
requires high form of usage of IT systems in order to bring in efficiency within the processes of
work and ease the business operations of the organizations. Careful considerations of several
factors based on IT systems would help in reducing the excessive costs that would be incurred by

communication and transaction procedures. The use of IT systems within Telstra have shown a
major impact on the growth of the sector of telecommunication and have also shown that this
organization has a high level of managerial strategies (Laudon & Laudon, 2016).
The management systems within any organization plays as major role within any
organization. With the impact of IT systems within the managerial functions of Telstra, it has

various operations. The high form of increase of mobile and cloud based IT solutions are able to
dedicate better form of functionalities within the sector. The use of cloud based applications
within the management systems of Telstra are extremely useful for performing the daily routine
of tasks, which includes authoring, email contents, sharing of documents, and security of the
information within the software and hardware systems. Other forms of managerial functions
within Telstra would also be benefited from the impact of IT systems such as human resources
management, customer relations and accounting information (Marchewka, 2014). The
applications of IT systems are provided in the form of specialized softwares, which could be
easily installed on a server or a remote PC. This would incur the requirement of renewal fees,
implementation costs and expertise within IT for the major purpose of deploying and managing
the cloud based applications. These applications are also provided in the form of an online
service that could be easily purchased by the management of the organization and could be
scaled as per the needs of the organization.
The management within Telstra focuses on several aspects such as looking after the
benefits of the organization, enable the alignment between modern IT systems and the business

With the shift of IT implementation within the sector, the management of Telstra would
be able to optimize the existing of ICT architecture in order to provide secure and an efficient
access for the customers. This would be helpful for designing cost saving technologies and new
forms of business softwares. They would be able to implement integration consulting, which
would help in prioritizing of key components and highlight several issues. Hence, the
implementation of high form of IT systems would eventually be helpful for gaining the
maximum performance of flexibility within the work systems and gain higher returns based on
the initial investment (Schwalbe, 2015).
3. Conclusion
