What to pay attention to when creating an IT strategy?
- Goals
The IT strategy must reflect the company’s business strategy, defining how the IT department (or individual IT units) supports the achievement of strategic goals and the model of communication with other cells in the company. This is an important goal of the IT strategy, because in addition to components such as the budget for the IT department, cost of maintenance or external suppliers, the strategy must take into account the role of IT in achieving the goals of the entire company.
- Consider internal client’s needs
The IT strategy (just like any other IT project) should be based on the knowledge of its recipients’ needs. Therefore, it is necessary to define how the IT department is to cooperate with other departments in the company.
- Strategy and plan
The best IT strategy is still only a strategy if there is no plan to it. It is worth pointing out that the strategy itself should be outlined in a several-years and annual perspective, while the plan should be created with a maximum annual perspective. The plan should take into account the way of communication with other departments in the company, their expectations towards the IT department or the provider of these services, as well as the goals that they aim to achieve.
