IT Employment
Hi. Currently our department's name is EDP. And because the name is not anymore appropriate in our time, I want the name to be IT Dept.? Do you think it's OK? How can I justify this to the higher management?
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

EDP - Electronic Data Processing...
Where I am from this basically meant a whole heap of people punching keys... processing data... it was never about maintaining a complex network environment. This kind of work barely exists today - mostly because of 'multi-skilling'.
MIS - Management Information Systems (Services)
The people who maintain corporate applications (information systems)... often database administrators, programmers and other such kind... having an information management focus is a good thing... but a focus on the applications bad... and the assumptions that information systems is about management is barking up the wrong tree... information in the end helps the company work its relationships.
IT - Information Technology [Services]
The pure technology world as it relates to information systems... often where you place your network and systems infrastructure management, voice and data communications services... etc.
I would suggest that depending on thesize of the organisation... you have a Information Management Department that has a Information & Communications Technology Services unit working for it.
