Organizational technical means are focused on mechanization and automation of various types of activities in arbitrary subject areas.
There is such a term as instrumentalmeans of information technology, which is understood to mean a technical complex and software that allow you to create complex systems that have different functions and capabilities.
It turns out that at the moment there are different types of information technologies, which are actively used in various fields of activity.
