Does Your Company Have the Right IT Strategy?
Overview
Just as every successful company has a well-conceived business plan, it should have an equally well-conceived information technology strategy. And the two should link directly with each other. At its most fundamental level, an IT strategy allows a company to support and improve its key business capabilities by better enabling the functions that underlie those capabilities. These functions range from growth-focused ones to operational efficiencies and include human capital, finance, regulatory compliance, and the digital delivery of services, to name just a handful of functional areas. For all companies, big and small, a well-considered IT strategy is critical.
