An information systems manager is responsible for the computer systems within a company, overseeing installation, ensuring back up systems operate effectively, purchasing hardware and software, providing the ICT technology infrastructures for an organisation and contributing to organisational policy regarding quality standards and strategic planning.
Information systems managers work in every size of organisation in the industry and the service sector, usually with a staff of technicians, programmers and database administrators reporting to them.
Although the title of information systems manager is becoming more common in the ICT sector, job titles may vary. For example, you might be a service delivery manager, a functional manager, or simply a systems manager.
