This category is all about your business in the digital world.
Overview
This is a place to manage all the common computer-y things that most businesses have. Like hardware and software, setting up your online presence, and staying safe in cyberspace.
And to be an honorary IT professional, this includes notes about configuration (i.e. all the stuff you did when you set something up).
This is a nice example of ‘working the Decimal way’ – keeping notes to help your future self.
It might be as simple as bullet points in your JDex or maybe a diagram, depending on what you’re documenting. Now you’ll never forget what you did.
Exceptions
- This is for computer-y things that are common to most businesses. Not for ‘computerised machines’ specific to your operations or product, those go in 12.20, 12.30, or 23.
- This is for your technology. If your product or service is related (e.g. you’re an IT consultant or repair computers) that goes in 20-29 and 30-39.
- This is not for managing technology related to workplace security or access (e.g cameras, passcards), that goes in 12.22 or 12.32.
