Things That ICT Systems Can Provide
What can ICT Provide
1. List 6 things ICT can provide.
ICT can provide fast, repetitive processing, vast storage capability, the facility to search and combine data in many different that would otherwise be impossible, improved presentation of information, improved accessibility to information and services and improved security of data and processes.
2. Why do things go wrong with ICT systems?
ICT systems improve the way that we process data and make life easier for the operators and help to make work more efficient; however, sometimes even a computer can get it wrong. The three main reasons for this are hardware, software and the inability to transfer data properly from one system to another. A computer can store a large volume of data, but if you do not have the space to store this data then the computer can stop working or freeze. Processing large amounts of data can eat into processing space and processing time; if the computer does not operate fast enough the processing cannot be carried out efficiently. If your computer crashes then you could lose all your work, if this computer is a server or a main computer in a company then a great deal of people will be affected. If software is badly written or not tested before it is released to the general public then it will not operate as it is supposed to do. If there are bugs in the coding then this could cause the system to crash. If the software is not tested properly then this could lead to embarrassing errors.
3. Why do ICT systems fail?
Reasons for Failure: • Bugs in the software. • Implementing system too quickly. • Requirements of the organisation are not met. • Insufficient testing. • No end-user involvement. • Cutting costs with employees. • Insufficient hardware. • New system is not compatible with the old system.
