About this IT Handbook

On this page: Practical Content, “Ready to Go”, Helping You, Fast Browsing

We provide non-technical Business Professionals with quality IT information you can actually understand. Our site is like a nicely structured “IT Handbook” that can help you expand your “IT IQ”. 

More than ever, non-technical professionals are collaborating with IT Pros. These interactions are often important due to the role IT plays in businesses and organizations. 

Other IT sites are generally not very useful sources of information for Business Professionals. They are often too technical, not clearly structured, focused on just one aspect of IT, limited in overall scope, etc.

Most people then resort to “Googleing” IT terms, but that takes effort and only provides “one answer at a time” information, which is also difficult to retain and refer to for later use.

We solve that challenge by providing all these “answers” in a “Ready to Go” and highly structured manner, all in one place.

In that sense, our site serves as a practical IT Handbook for Business Professionals.

With our helpful Introduction to IT section, numerous IT topic overviews, and intuitive navigation options, anyone who regularly uses this site can meaningfully enhance their understanding of IT.

For optimal impact, Members also enjoy all the content of our platform and additional powerful productivity features.

Practical and Quick-to-Read Content

We purposely focus on providing practical IT information for non-techie readers.

We do this with a consistent and “time-based” topic structure that makes it easy for you to decide how far you want to go into a particular topic and in what format:

  • Each topic starts with a brief definition that covers its essence
  • We then cover additional background you can read in just a few minutes *
  • If available, we include a relevant 5-12 minute video clip with helpful visuals

By covering numerous IT topics in this manner, we enable users to review them quickly, understand their essence, or delve deeper as needed.

Productive and “Ready to Go”

Instead of looking things up “one at a time” on Google, Wikipedia, ChatGPT, or other sites, you can easily navigate across a full spectrum of “Ready to Go” IT topics here on Tech Job Terms. 

We do this with:

  • An “Intro to IT” section about core functions in IT organizations
  • Subject Area pages to easily see collections of related topic families
  • An IT Terms section with topics from Essential to Specialty levels *
  • Job Profiles with core information by IT job and linked Term Lists *
  • Tech Talk topics that provide additional insights and background

In short, all the IT information that can be helpful in your work is right here and “Ready to Go”!
