Background – What is Business Technology?

Any electronic device or system that assists employees in completing their tasks is called business technology. Employees use technology such as computers, internet systems and printers. They also use software applications to help organize and prioritize their work. Technology can be used to help employees divide their work, allowing them to achieve different goals and make it easier for larger tasks. Business technology can be used by managers to find new employees, collaborate with other businesses, or evaluate the company's finances.

Business Technology is used in many ways such as:

1. Payroll: A business can use computer systems, specialized software and scheduled payroll programs to transfer payments to employees and contractors for each pay period. Some of these processes can be automated.
2. Hiring: Businesses can use the internet to find talent in other countries. Managers have access to software through networking and computer systems that can create flyers, job descriptions, and scheduling tools to find talent.
3. Inventory management: Businesses can create complex spreadsheets to track and locate inventory. This software program may include an active classification system, which informs employees when certain inventory is in stock or transit.
4. Work allocation - Managers can use both online and offline software systems to help them allocate work to their employees. Managers can assign tasks online through their own websites or use chat rooms to discuss goals.
5. Communication: Businesses can communicate with their employees remotely using communication software. Many systems have optimization options that can be used by remote employees.
6. Data storage: Companies can store financial statements, records and other company data in secure databases that employees have access to from anywhere. A data storage system is useful for production companies to track orders, manage stock, and supervise general production.
7. Software security – Software security helps protect electronic content by preventing unauthorised users from accessing it. It is also useful for employees to comply with safety regulations within the company.
