In some companies, this is referred to as Management Information Services (or MIS) or simply as Information Services (or IS).

The information technology department of a large company would be responsible for storing information, protecting information, processing the information, transmitting the information as necessary, and later retrieving information as necessary.

ITAD is the acronym for the organization called "Information Technology Assistance for Development". ITAD is a non-profit, non-governmental organization based in Liberia (West Africa). ITAD is incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Liberia and accredited by the Ministry of Planning and Economic Affairs.

The corporation is comprised of a Board Directors, an Executive Director and a functional management team. This organization was established for the development of human resource and infrastructure in developing countries through the sharing and recycling of technology (Technical-Know-How and Equipment).

ITAD uses Information Technology assistance (Technical-Know-How and Equipment) as one of our key tool. In our effort to alleviate illiteracy, ignorance, Conflicts, Crimes, Poverty, and HIV infections in communities where majority of the inhabitants live in abject poverty, we have design several human resource development programs to capacitate and equip these poor people to improve their lives, the lives of other and their community.

We believe these poor people needs to be involved in the development program, if it must be successful. This is why we begin our programs at community level and then spread over an entire country as we acquire the needed resources. We conduct adult literacy program, Computer Literacy program, Counseling service, Workshops, Vocational skill training, and other programs to capacitate these people to implement what they have learned for the improvement of their lives, and their community.
