  Unit Aims:

When working in industry, IT practitioners must be able to see the bigger picture, drawing on all of their knowledge and previous experiences to find the best and most viable solutions to the problem. This is particularly important when working with non technical managers who may not understand the technologies that they need to be able to perform their role. Practitioners must be able to share their knowledge and understanding in an appropriate way to promote the use of data and information systems to support modern business and enterprise.

This unit enables learners to examine a wide range of information systems that they will find in industry.
