IT - Information Technology.
IS - Information Systems [Support].
ICT - Information Communications Technology [Applied IT].

IT is a term that encompasses all forms of technology used to create, store, exchange, and use information in its various forms. It's a convenient term for including both telephony and computer technology in the same word. It is the technology that is driving what has often been called "the information revolution".

A good way to think about ICT is to consider all the uses of digital technology that already exist to help individuals, businesses and organisations use information.

In business, ICT is often categorised into two broad types of product:
  • The traditional computer-based technologies (things you can typically do on a personal computer or using computers at home or at work); and
  • The more recent, and fast-growing range of digital communication technologies (which allow people and organisations to communicate and share information digitally).
