IT Services and Streaming Services

IT Services

The subject of the IT service is to aid and enable organizations in the creation, management, and optimization of systems for keeping records, forms, statistics, and data. It also intends to implement methods for the information to be accessible or restricted for the members of the organization.

The information technologies services comprise many types of services, such as: network setup, which is focused on getting an organization's networks up and running; network security or cybersecurity, evaluating and responding to potential threats; database management, organizing the organization's database to ensure security and performance of data-driven applications; cloud computing, create your own or sell a license of software that grants storage and access to the cloud; software support, where you provide support on technical fixes, which can be general or specific to certain applications; VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), service that allows the members of an organization to communicate via voice calls; computer/hardware repair, repair of different devices.

IT service providers offer more than one of the services mentioned above, usually as deals or packages. For these cases, the providers tend to operate as managed IT providers where they service other company’s network on a current basis, charging a monthly rate on the services. In the long run, this is less costly for companies, since it can prevent expensive problems in the first place. IT service providers also operate on demand, offering a specific service or a deal or package, and the companies pay for that specific service when needed, instead of paying a monthly rate.

Streaming Services

Streaming is the service that sends videos, music, podcasts, and other media over the internet in order for people to watch or listen to the content immediately and at any given time without the need to download it. This service has gained a lot of relevance in the last decade, with so many companies incorporating or changing to this form of business. During these last months in the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a more notable diversification in the streaming services.

When a person thinks of a streaming service provider, to most people what comes mind is Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Spotify, but there is so much more than that. Even though the entertainment industry is the giant of streaming services other industries have taken their share on the digitalization of their services. To put an example, ad-hoc to the pandemic, homeschooling is now a major role in the lives of students, under and postgraduates, through streaming platforms like Coursera, EdX, MIT Open CourseWare, Open Yale Courses, and so on.

There are, also, non-typical academic streaming services such as MaterClass, sports, acting, cooking, singing, performance, etc. are thought. The point is that the streaming services and digitalization era are taking over so many industries, with benefits to the consumers, providers, and the economy, from an environmental point of view to the access of information.
