Information Systems Strategic
Planning
Failing to plan is planning to fail!
Embarking on an automation or computerization project without careful
requirements analysis and planning often yields a very low or no
return on technology investments. Information Systems Strategic
Planning (ISSP) is an exercise that helps enterprises determine
the optimal path for fulfilling their business objectives.
It provides a way to plan and manage the use of information through
a comprehensive and usable framework which links business objectives
whilst focusing on information technology. Designing a technology
architecture in this manner ensures effective management of information
resources. Specifically, the ISSP helps:
 |
Align technology with
the company’s business model; |
|
Assess the current
and future information requirements based on the business model; |
|
Construct a “Business
System Architecture” (BSA) that will satisfy identified
information requirements; |
|
Construct an “Information
Technology Architecture” (ITA) to support the BSA; |
|
Present the information
technology recommendations to management in a way that they
can readily understand, evaluate and act upon an implementation
plan. |
