Updated on: 14-12-2024 Developments in information technology (IT) have had a significant impact on the way in which organisations operate. Where once IT may have been considered separate from other parts of an organisation, successful organisations now integrate IT systems into all aspects of their business and operations. This unit helps learners to understand the different uses of IT in organisations, and how its effective use can contribute to the organisation’s success and improvement. In this unit, you will explore different types of organisation and examine how IT helps them to meet their organisational needs and complete common business functions effectively. You will explore the value IT provides for an organisation and its internal and external stakeholders, examining ways in which information is used by different stakeholders, and considering how that information is best presented to them to improve engagement and add value to the organisation. You will respond to a scenario and plan and develop an information campaign aimed at internal and external stakeholders

Updated on: 08-04-2025 Database systems play an important role in today’s business processes. Without databases storing and interrogating information for decision-making, organisations would not be as efficient. Database systems provide different ways for users to access data, such as sorting the data to provide answers to specific queries, and organising the data into reports for easy interpretation. In this unit, you will explore how different organisations use database systems, and examine how the information databases provide can assist the decision-making process. You will carry out data manipulations, design and develop a database system using a database application, and review your database system to ensure that it meets the user requirements

Updated on: 14-12-2024 To make decisions, organisations collect vast amounts of data from a range of different sources. Organisations need to use appropriate data-collection methods to ensure that the data is of sufficient quality to enable decision making. Data must then be converted into information to become useful. Learners will explore the different data manipulation methods that can be used to change the way that data is presented. Learners will provide summaries of given data and present them in a dashboard that will allow organisations to make effective decisions. It is up to the data user to look at the information and draw conclusions, so how the information is presented is key to ensuring that effective and accurate decisions are made. In this unit, learners will study the different presentation features that can be used to ensure that information is understood clearly in an objective way so that it is not misinterpreted.
