INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY

The information technology (IT) sector is comprised of companies that produce software, hardware or semiconductor equipment, or companies that provide internet or related services. The three major industry groups within the IT sector are software and services, technology hardware and equipment and semiconductors and semiconductor equipment.

SOFTWARE AND SERVICES

The software and services industry group is made up of companies that provide internet services, as well as companies that provide software and IT services.

Internet Software & Services	Internet Software & Services	Companies that develop and market internet software or provide internet services, including online databases or interactive services. This also includes companies whose revenue mainly comes from online advertising. Software as a Service
IT Services	IT Consulting & Other Services	Companies that provide IT services or systems integration services, including IT consulting and information management.
IT Services	Data Processing & Outsourced Services	Companies that provide data processing or outsourcing services, including back-office automation services.
Software	Application Software	Companies that develop and produce software for business or consumer use, including enterprise applications and technical software. This excludes home entertainment and educational software.
	Systems Software	Companies that develop and produce database management software and systems.
	Home Entertainment Software	Companies that produce home entertainment software, such as video games, and educational software for consumer use

Examples of companies that provide internet software and services include Google, eBay, Facebook, Accenture, PayPal, Adobe, Microsoft and Electronic Arts (EA).

TECHNOLOGY HARDWARE AND EQUIPMENT

Technology hardware and equipment is broken down into three industries: communications equipment, technology hardware, storage and peripherals and electronic equipment, instruments and components. Communications equipment includes routers, telephones and switchboards. Technology hardware, storage and peripherals includes computers, printers and cell phones. Electronic equipment, instruments and components include companies that make equipment like barcode scanners, transformers and security systems, as well as companies that are distributors or Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM). An OEM is a company that makes parts or components that are used in another company’s end product. For example, many Dell computers use Intel processors and have Windows pre-installed--Intel and Microsoft could be considered OEMs for Dell.

Communications Equipment	Communications Equipment	Companies that produce communication equipment, including local area networks (LAN), routers, telephones, and switchboards.
Technology Hardware, Storage & Peripherals	Technology Hardware, Storage & Peripherals	Companies that produce laptops, PCs, servers, electronic computer products and peripherals. This also includes motherboards, audio and video cards, monitors, keyboards and printers.
Electronic Equipment, Instruments & Components	Electronic Equipment & Instruments	Companies that produce electronic equipment, including scanner/barcode products, lasers, point-of-sale machines/cash registers and security systems.
	Electronic Components	Companies that produce electronic components, including transformers, electronic capacitors and resistors, electronic coils and connection devices.
	Electronic Manufacturing Services	Companies that produce electronic equipment as an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). An OEM is a company that makes a part or component that is used in another company's end product.
	Technology Distributors	Companies that distribute hardware and technology equipment to other companies, but do not produce this equipment or sell it to consumers. This includes companies that distribute communications equipment, computers and semiconductors.

Examples of companies that produce technology hardware and equipment include Apple, HP, Dell, Motorola, Cisco Systems, SanDisk and Western Digital.

SEMICONDUCTORS AND SEMICONDUCTOR EQUIPMENT

Semiconductors are substances that can conduct electricity under some conditions, but not others, making them ideal for controlling electrical currents. Silicon is a material that is frequently used as a semiconductor. This industry group includes both companies that make semiconductors and companies that make peripheral equipment for semiconductors.
