In this section we publish a previous question which we feel may be of interest to others with the permission of the originator and if necessary the question is reworded to protect confidentiality. I was wondering if you could tell me what you think are the main components of an ISS, and how you would prioritise which project needed to be implemented after an ISS has been drawn up. Any examples would be most appreciated. IS IT Strategy .
Strategy has to provide competitive advantage and also support the business plan.
For a non-commercial organisation the strategy has to help satisfy the goals of the organisation in the same way. However in this case I have observed that information systems are often used to enable more bureaucracy, rather than create a leaner organisation or better service, when compared to a simplification programme. IS can help the organisation in a number of ways too. For example to enable methods which simply could not be done efficiently any other way. This is improving the effectiveness.
