2 Florida s Information Technology industry cluster began to develop in support of the nation s space program and was further enhanced with the introduction of the IBM Personal Computer in Boca Raton in From these early efforts, Florida s information technology industry cluster has matured into such diverse areas as digital media; modeling, simulation and training; photonics/optics; and mobile technologies. The information technology industry cluster is defined as a combination of 51 different industries from both manufacturing (28) and nonmanufacturing (23). Industries within the cluster underwent a redefinition with the introduction of the 2012 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). As a result, a consistent time series for the cluster can only be constructed from 2011 through the first quarter of 2015 with the new industry definitions as defined by NAICS. The industries included in the IT cluster are defined by Enterprise Florida, Inc. The information technology industry cluster in Broward County had 2,838 establishments and employment of 25,621 in March Employment was up +756 jobs (+3.0 percent) over the year.
