Even pure IT companies tend to have buildings, furniture, etc. So differentiating IT and non-IT based on that makes little sense.
I would like to see a criterion that can tell computer game development is an IT business while banking is not, if there is one. Buildings and furniture? Amount of non-IT expertise? Amount of core business carried out inside/by computers? How customers use/interact with their products? None actually cuts it.
