difference between information systems and information technology

If referring to Information Technology and Information Systems, many outsiders perceive no difference. However, there is a major difference in the specific areas of concentration.


Information Technology usually refers to the underlying hardware and networks used to provide data where and when necessary. It is the tools technologies that make up today's imformation systems
Information Systems usually refers specifically to the software used to transform raw data into information from which decisions may be based. Refers to a set of tools and technologies working together to create, save, process data and sent a message.
