    Study Notes

    IT Management

    • Centralised or decentralised management of IT is a choice organisations have to make, with each approach having its advantages and disadvantages.

    Standardisation in Centralised IT Management

    • Standardisation is a key issue in centralised IT management, ensuring that all IT infrastructure components are of the same type or follow the same standard.
    • A standard refers to an externally defined set of parameters that IT components conform to, such as cable or data standards.
    • Standards enable easy interoperability between components and facilitate easy replacement and maintenance.
    • Non-standard components may not be compatible with other infrastructure elements and may be difficult to acquire and procure.
