As global markets become increasingly competitive, employers are seeking information technology (IT) professionals who are not only talented developers or systems administrators, but also understand business.  In this course, students learn to consider the impact of information technology systems from a broader perspective, while developing their own communication, collaboration, and leadership skills.  Students are introduced to business structures and environments.  Through class discussions, assigned readings, in-class studies, and business case analysis, students develop a viable business vocabulary, an understanding of internal business functions, and the potential to improve business operations and increase profit margins by leveraging technology. 

This course exposes learners to the types of correspondence and technical documentation produced in the Information Technology (IT) industry. Students focus on those most pertinent to their area of specialization and learn the purpose and key components of these documents. Given this early stage of the program, learners examine and deconstruct examples of IT technical documentation to discuss their quality and identify ways in which to improve their writing substance.  
 
As part of this course, students learn the fundamental principles of writing “substance” to direct the focus of their writing to their target audience, the audience’s level of awareness, the information categorization, and information sequencing. They learn strategies to adapt their writing style and format to suit the intended audience, purpose, and process. Learners also utilize digital writing/grammar software applications to proofread, edit, and correct syntax.  

This course provides learners with the knowledge and skills to implement secure cloud computing services.  Leaners plan and implement storage, compute, and network services.
