infotech
Computer science shorthand
Infotech is a clipped compound of information technology—the field encompassing computers, software, networks, and data systems.
The term appears mainly in business contexts and job titles: She works in infotech, the infotech sector.
It's slightly more casual than the full phrase but less common than the abbreviation IT.
