Making IT the profession of the 21st century
IT has moved from providing technical solutions to powering business.
The world economy is becoming ever-more dependent on the potential of technology to deliver information, products and services to its populations. BCS is committed to improving the ability of business and other organisations to exploit the potential of information technology effectively and consistently and to building an IT profession that is respected and valued by all its stakeholders.
BCS is partnering with business and other organisations through the strategic objectives of this programme to maximise the benefits of information technology for the whole of society.
The IT profession is as much about Information as about Technology and must be seen - and see itself - as an integral part of the business.
