When the IT department and the business act together to do so, a business can run the most efficiently and economically achieving maximum profit levels. It was stated “It is not necessarily what you make in a factory that counts; its what you do with the information that you own that brings in the revenue”(Rasiah, par. 2). In essence, the IT department helps with all the information, technology, software, and data decision making in a company. This makes the department vital to the company’s success. However, if a company did not have or invest in an IT department, many things could go wrong inside the company itself. The company would not be able to attain the full financial capability of its products as well as being able to run the most economically sound. In addition, one other potential risk a business could encounter with no IT department could be revenue loss in security and information databases.

The IT department is also crucial to a company's product and data security. Without the IT department a company can not reach its full potential financial capability and can lose a great amount of profit in products and business processes. Therefore, the IT department is a valuable asset to a corporation's success because it aids in a companies major decision making, secures technological privacy and data, and helps align a company’s sectors to achieve maximum efficiency.
