To ensure that IT is effectively utilized in today’s increasingly digital world, organizations must engage in a proactive, future-based information resources planning process. The process must include a thorough assessment of the status quo. Strategic planners must have an understanding of the competitive marketplace in which the company operates, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of its current IS resources. The strategic IS plan should mirror and be clearly linked to not only the IS vision and IT architecture but also current business plans, and provide a well-documented roadmap from which the firm can make IT investment and budgeting decisions. Documentation from the entire IS planning process ranges from the broad objectives stated in the strategic IS plan to the detailed staffing requirements and expense forecasts made in the short-term operational IS plans.
