Di grup Information Technology Managers (IT) linkedIn, ada satu member dari luar negeri yang bertanya tentang definisi IT manager. Lalu salah satu member asal Indonesia ada yang menjawab seperti ini:
I manage all IT equipments. Just not IT infrastructure and IS applications but also managing CCTV and PABX. For me IT Manager is ICT Manager. In my thought managing ICT is managing collections of IT (server, networks, operating systems, etc), communication technologies, and information systems and its application. We manage them in phases of planning, procurements, deployment/implementation, until operation/maintenance. That what I am thinking and doing as IT Manager.

Kok, IT Manager ikut menangani PABX?
Kalau IT manager adalah sama dengan ICT manager, sangat disayangkan karena menjadi terlalu banyak kerjaan, terlalu luas dan sifatnya lebih ke maintenance. IT manager definisi diatas menjadikan tugasnya tidak terlalu banyak kearah strategis karena sudah pasti disibukkan dengan pekerjaan maintenance maupun procurement untuk perawatan.
Menurut anda, definisi IT Manager itu sebetulnya apa?
