IT strategic planning
- Strategic IT planning for your small or medium sized business is important if you want your business to be successful. The right plan for your business should reduce operational costs, speed time to market, improve overall customer service, and be a budget-able investment that will grow with your business. Traditionally, larger companies hire CIOs to create a strategic IT plan, but that is typically too expensive for small and medium businesses. Instead, partner with an IT consulting service such as ITIS and gain the expertise and experience of multiple CIOs without footing the bill for even one.
- In order to best use technology for strategic alignment, risks need to be defined and mitigated.
