Business organizations always emphasize on information systems on the verge to gather any desirable<br />

information that can aid in decision-making. Due to the vast and comprehensive changes in many<br />

business backgrounds and the emergence of the Internet and computers, the structure of most<br />

businesses and the necessary information requires changes. Competition has taken root in most of the<br />

industries and information technology form a very useful avenue for companies or organizations to thrive.<br />

The potential usefulness of the different kinds of information technology systems is well recognized for<br />

organizational management (Porter, 2014). Perhaps it is true to state that advances in IT have been a<br />

stepping stone to organizations attempt to develop strategies that can give them a comparative<br />

advantage.<br />

keep track with the current technology, the company is always likely to have a competitive disadvantage.<br />

As a result, business and organization management has a task of ensuring that they are always updated<br />
