IT INFRATSTRUCTURE
FOR
VIRTUAL ORGANIZATION
Internet
Networking
Distributed Computing
Sophisticated Web Services
Understanding about Virtual Organization
VO is a relatively new concept that
has emerged in the beginning of 1990s
Incentive behind to create Virtual Organization
Technical complexity of demanded products
Constantly changing customer requirements
Constantly changing market requirements
Development, production and support
of modern products is highly complex (Risk)
To deliver highest quality product at the
lowest possible cost in a timely manner



Understanding about Virtual Organization
VO is a temporary or permanent coalition
of geographically dispersed individuals,
groups, organizational units or entire
organizations that pool resources,
capabilities and information to achieve
common objectives, while decisively relying
on
information technology & its
Infrastructure.
Virtual Organizational Designs
Not physically existing as
such but made and
connected by software

Fuzzy Boundaries

Flexible Structure

Ability to Include new
Partner

What organizations have to do?
Unite Virtually
Share Resources
Share Capabilities
Share Experience
Share Common
Facilities













5 Steps to Introducing A Virtual IT
Infrastructure Into Organization

1. Work out your Requirements
2. Speak to Professionals
3. Talk to your IT Team
4. Confirm your Budget
5. Get everyone on Board
A Virtual Firm
A leading maker of computer workstations.

Concentrates on H/W & S/W design.

Where it distinguished itself from
competitors?

It relies so heavily on external
manufacturers and distributors

After a vendor assembles the machine,
another contract supplier delivers it to the
customer

infrastructure
Several key technical issues surround VOs
The capability of the communications network
Hardware and software compatibility issues
Computer security
The dynamic nature of technology

Conclusion
We start the presentation with what is virtual
organization and what types of virtual organization
exist. How these organization do their work and
manage their activities . In the second part of the
presentation we discus the IT infrastructure for the
virtual organization that how we create a good It
infrastructure for virtual organization. What are the
components of IT infrastructure and what things must
be in mind in developing IT infrastructure.
