INTRODUCTION
Information technology states to the study of system particularly computes and
telecommunication in regards to save, retrieving and transferring the information. This also
helps in securing the data and also reaching after the data base. It is the information technology
that includes the utilisation of networking and another storage instruments in command to
convert kinds of technical data ( Shabani, and Shahnazi, 2019.). The technology refers to the
skills, process and methods which is being utilised for the specific production of goods and
services. Morrisons is the selected company, which is counted as a fourth largest chain of
supermarket which is working in UK and its headquarter is in Bradford, west Yorkshire,
England. This report will analyse the significance of system software in order to operate the
