Computers have become a key in information management in any business environment. Because computers are central in nearly all aspects of information management, failure and downtime can be disastrous and costly. How to prevent computer related business hazards and how to manage the situation where they inevitably occur will be the main focus of this workshop. No doubt computers are very costly machines and to avoid the enormous cost of buying new computers regularly, existing ones need to be adequately maintained.
