Enterprise IT Strategy


IT strategy (Information Technology Strategy) is a comprehensive plan that outlines how technology should be used to meet IT and business goals. An IT strategy, also called a technology strategy or IT/technology strategic plan, is a written document that details the multiple factors that affect the organization's investment in and use of technology.

Among the multitude of IT services and functions involved with the operation of an enterprise firm, identifying those which most impact your business is a challenging process.

Despite the challenge, enterprises must invest the requisite time and resources to determine which IT areas they most prioritize, as these priorities directly inform IT objectives and strategy. Without a documented set of priorities, the process of formulating a cohesive strategy can be easily steered off-course.

While IT priorities necessarily vary on an individual basis among enterprise firms, a few services consistently top the list in recent field research as services that enterprises recognize as increasingly important today.
