IT Strategy is Critical to Success

 IT has become a critical part of almost every department, and the majority of businesses have high expectations for their technical investment – including reduced costs, increased security, enhanced productivity or improved workflows and communications.

However, despite this important role, IT strategy often ends up as an afterthought. Bolted on to business strategy, rather than forming an integral part of it. This can be, in part, because IT is seen as a separate entity, where decisions and investments are often made with a technology-centric approach rather than a business orientated one.

This divided approach, by both the business as a whole and by IT, is counterproductive and usually only serves to increase the disconnect between the two.
