Aligning information technology and business strategy with a dynamic capabilities perspective

Information Technology has become a key business function for almost every organization and most have great expectations of their investment in IT for the future benefits of the business.

Information Technology is continuing to challenge the way companies organize their business processes, communicate with customers and potential customers, and deliver their services. This continuous strategic loop means enterprises function better, make more profit, and see better ROI because they hit their goals with less effort. And while there may be no standard way to align successfully, an organization where IT and business strategy are in synergy can improve agility and operational efficiencies.
