Answer to Question 1

Information technology and information systems are two closely related terms, but they
are different. Information technology (IT) refers to the products, methods, inventions, and
standards that are used for the purpose of producing information. IT pertains to the hardware,
software, and data components. An information system (IS) is an assembly of hardware,
software, data, procedures, and people that produces information. Information technology drives
the development of new information systems.
Users can buy IT; they can buy or lease hardware, they can license programs and databases, and
they can even obtain predesigned procedures. Ultimately, however, it is the people who execute
those procedures to employ the new IT.
For any new system, users will always have training tasks (and costs), they will always have the
need to overcome employees' resistance to change, and they will always need to manage the
employees as they use the new system. Hence, one can buy IT, but not IS.
