Data analytics

Data analytics involves analysing data to discover relationships and describe events. Analytics may involve examining data from past performance to understand what happened in a previous situation so that a business can make better decisions. Alternatively, businesses can try to predict future performance based on current information.

Data/information management

Information is of no use to an organisation if it can't be stored, retrieved, analysed and used. Information management involves developing programs and systems to organise and manage data so that it can be a valuable resource. Disaster recovery and business continuity are also covered within this area, since loss of or loss of access to data has high costs.

Development

Technology companies produce software and hardware to meet the needs of businesses and individuals. Some organisations will also have in-house development teams that build bespoke systems. Software and hardware designers and engineers research, design and test new systems and technology, and then modify and implement them to suit a particular market, use or client's needs.
