ITteam

ITteam is a term used to describe the information technology team within an organization, responsible for planning, delivering, and sustaining technology services and systems. It may be a formal department or a cross-functional group, sometimes provided by external vendors in a managed service arrangement.

Core duties include maintaining the IT infrastructure (networks, servers, storage, endpoints), deploying and maintaining software, providing user support through a help desk, managing security controls, and ensuring data integrity and backups. The team often oversees application development or integration, cloud services, and analytics platforms.

Roles commonly found in an ITteam include IT manager or director, systems administrator, network engineer, cybersecurity analyst, help desk technician, database administrator, software developer, DevOps engineer, and IT project manager. In smaller organizations, roles may be combined.

Operations typically follow service management principles such as ITIL, with processes for incident, problem, change, and release management, along with asset management and capacity planning. Workflows are supported by ticketing systems, monitoring tools, and collaboration platforms. Cloud adoption and automation are common.

Performance is measured by metrics like system uptime, mean time to restore service (MTTR), incident resolution time, SLA compliance, and user satisfaction. Governance includes security policies, access control, risk assessment, compliance with laws and standards (for example GDPR, HIPAA), and regular audits.
