IT deals with the use of electronic computers and computer software to convert, store, protect, process, transmit, and securely retrieve information

DEFINITIONIT Stands for "Information Technology," and is pronounced

"I.T." It refers to anything related to computing technology, such as networking, hardware, software, the Internet, or the people that work with these technologies. Many companies now have IT departments for managing the computers, networks, and other technical areas of their businesses. IT jobs include computer programming, network administration, computer engineering, Web development, technical support, and many other related occupations. Since we live in the "information age," information technology has become a part of our everyday lives. That means the term "IT," already highly overused, is here to stay.

TECHNOLOGY SERVICESTechnology services are, not surprisingly, services that involve technology. These include information technology, or IT, services, such as technical support, computer networking, systems administration, and other services. Common Internet services, such as Web hosting, e-mail, and social networking websites also fall under the scope of technology services. Therefore, the terms "technology services" and "information technology services" (ITS) are often used

interchangeably.

MEANING OF ITESITES, Information Technology Enabled Service, is defined as outsourcing of processes that can be enabled with information technology and covers diverse areas like finance, HR, administration, health care, telecommunication, manufacturing etc. Armed with technology and manpower, these services are provided from e-enabled locations. This radically reduces costs and improve service standards. In short, this Internet service provider aims in providing B2B e-commerce solutions
