     Management  ystems: IT application in human resource management is known as HRIS (Human
                 Resource Information System). A variety of HR Management operations like keeping employee records,
                 keeping leave records of the employees, etc. are taken care of through computer applications. Monthly
                 salaries of employees are computed and pay slips are released with accuracy and without delay.

                Advertising and  ales  romotion: Advertising is done effectively through popular websites to target
                 their audience. Computers and internet have led to the marketing and sale of products and services
                 online through the company s own website or through online trading websites like Amazon, Flipkart, etc.

              Printing and Publication

              Earlier, authors and writers used to pen their thoughts on paper or type using manual typewriters. Any
              correction during editing and proofreading used to lead to typing the entire page afresh.  Computers have
              transformed the process and speed of printing and publishing as they have led to:
                 nstant Editing: The editing of content is done instantly by the use of auto-correction of spelling and

                 grammar.
                E ecution and Monitoring o   arge- cale  rinting: Computer-controlled printing machines are now
                 being used by the printing press for large-scale production with an innumerable combination of colors.
                e- oo  and e-ne spaper: IT has led to release of e-book. For example Kindle version, publication of
                 e-newspapers and e-magazines at cheaper rates.

                 ariety o   romotional Materials: Designing and Printing promotional materials like  ex, banner, poster,
                 pamphlet, etc. is done using computers.

              Engineering and Manufacturing

              The manufacturing units used to deploy a large number of manpower and mechanical tools. The structural
              designing of buildings, products and equipment was earlier done on large design papers and multiple copies
              of them were prepared manually. But now, multiple copies of such drawings for analysis, presentations and
              field  work  is  done  through  computers.  Computers  have  led  to  designing  and  manufacturing  at  a  much
              speedier pace. Engineers and manufacturers now rely on computers for:

                CAM  Computer Aided Manu acturing : The Processes and machines have got automated, resulting in a
                 large volume of production in a lesser time span with the help of computerized machines and tools.
                Designing o   eavy Engineering  roducts: With the help of CAD (Computer Aided Designing) and CAE
                 (Computer Aided Engineering), heavy engineering products like vehicles and aircrafts are designed.

              Sports

              Earlier  sports  were  solely  concerned  with  field  activities.  Sports  and  computers  were  never  considered
              interrelated aspects. Gradually computers started modernising the sports industry as well. Computers help

              players, coaches, commentators, sports analysts, sports organisers and media in varied ways like:
                 dentification  o    raining   eeds:  Sports trainers are able to put  players’ physical records into the
                 computer and develop a training program that best fits his / her needs as per the analysis. Trainers can

                 also attach sensors and equipment to the players during the training sessions, allowing the computer to
                 register results.
