IT Strategy
Some see information technology as a cost center, but IT can be a powerful tool to help businesses
realize their strategic goals. Leading organizations turn information technology into an effective and
efficient enabler by translating business value into IT mandates. Is your IT organization aligned
with your corporate strategy? Is a strong IT-business partnership a priority? Do your business leaders
understand the business value IT provides?
The challenges of fitting together the multiple moving pieces of an IT organization are all too
familiar. Point solutions are scattered throughout the organization. Projects are often driven
from the bottom up through organizational silos, making it difficult for IT to understand
their value. Business managers, often unaware of IT cost drivers and constraints, may not
be equipped to provide appropriate direction. In this environment, it’s extremely difficult to
match IT spending with business priorities.

you can say:
- Our IT model is managed, not reactive.
- The IT services we provide are tightly linked to the business’s short- and long-term
strategy and objectives.
- Our technology managers understand how the business provides value, and our business
managers understand how our technology enables value creation.
- The structure of our IT organization refl ects our corporate organizational structure.
- We make IT investment decisions and prioritize IT expenditures based on business value.
