Explanation / Answer

Answer) The IT selection and the budgeting are done by a group of special team. The recruitment of the professionals is done on the basis of the skills he or she is having. Budgeting is basically a phenomenon to decide what amount of money is required in what fields. Will it be sufficient to support those services or not ? These things are caluclated under budgeting. Budgeting is done on the basis of the demands, the places where there is more demand, more money is spent in such areas. It is basically a group effort between the business divisions and the IT. The responses from the various people, various employees etc make it easier for the firm to decide where extra funding is required where not. Well the organisation should adopt some policies like meeting minimum targets of selling products, must maintain a friendly environment, must not stick to a persoanl task, help the other individuals as well if you are free. Adopting such factors will definitely improve the efficiency and help in better the process.
