IT department or they outsource it to provide higher-quality products or services. Some of the main application of IT
at workplace are listed below:
• Virtual offices are a new trend to reduce the administrative costs with a higher degree of flexibility and efficiency,
• In offices, laptops and PCs are interconnected using Local Network and Internet for efficient flow of information at
different levels.
• Data creation, presentation, analysis using different software tools have become an integral part of office work.
• In some companies, the reception staff is replaced by answering telephones to take messages, due to messaging
services and cellular technology.
• Some of the daily repetitive jobs can be easily automated by using customised hardware and software tools.
• Using emails, blogs, online forums, websites to be in touch with the emerging technologies and other competitive
companies in the market.
• Online meetings, video conferencing, and online workshops have become new normal in professional workplaces.
• ‘Work from home’ and ‘work from anywhere’ is only possible through the implementation of the latest information
