IT Strategies are Important

Organizations that do not have an IT strategy in place are akin to clueless organizations adrift in the sea of the 21st-century marketplace, rudderless, and directionless (Reynolds, 2015). With the exponential spread of IT and the increasing interconnection and connectivity in the contemporary world, having an IT strategy is no longer a luxury for organizations and indeed, it has become the very necessity for survival (Reynolds, 2015). This means that for organizations to harness the power of IT, leverage the synergies between their business processes, and capitalize on the efficiencies of the economies of scale, they need a robust, coherent, and proactive IT strategy. Moreover, with technology becoming the norm rather than the exception, organizations cannot afford to simply have a basic IT strategy and instead, must actualize a comprehensive IT strategy that is aligned to their business and corporate strategies (Reynolds, 2015).
