Strategic information systems planning is the process of identifying a portfolio of computer-based applications that will assist an organization in executing its business plans and realizing its business goals.
Carrying it out is a critical challenge for many information systems and business executives.
The SWOT -- strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats -- analysis is the place to get specific about the health of your company's key business priorities and IT strategy as they relate to your culture, capabilities, and infrastructure.
Strategic Systems Planning is an extremely effective, but simple process for creating your unique roadmap to fulfilling your vision and achieving your goals.
It provides a simple, standardized approach to strategic planning and, just as importantly, execution management.
