information technology
Companies which build devices, create software, and provide services in computer and related information technology industries.
Information technology organizations are creators and providers of goods and services in computer-related and other high-tech information-related fields.
The activity can involve software, physical information-processing equipment, or related consulting services. Producing a computer program and planning a building's computer infrastructure are different roles within the same field.
A company using computers to perform unrelated work does not acquire an information technology role from that use alone. The goods or services it provides must concern information technology.
