Discussion Question

Digital technology, including new software developments is essential for many organizations to function in the modern world. Although there is a variety of technology  available, there does not seem to be an industry standard. Select what you feel are the two most important elements of the seven major components of IT infrastructure and discuss what role each component serves and why it is important.

Then look at the components that your fellow students have selected and provide some constructive criticism as to why you might feel that the two component you selected might be a bit more important. Don’t be afraid to debate back and forth with your fellow students in a professional way.

Your primary discussion responses each week will use complete sentences, proper grammar and spelling and should be at least 250 words.  Please answer the question completely and thoroughly.  Refer to the textbook and external sources, being certain to properly include in-text citations and a reference at the end of your primary discussion response.  All reference listings should follow APA guidelines.  References will be placed at the end of the post and will be single-spaced and not contain any indentation.
