While many business applications present real value to enterprises, IT departments must adopt a strategic approach to ensure that any new application meets the wider requirements of the business. This means taking into account the other business applications currently in use, as well as their goals and values. In addition, it means assessing the business processes that need to be addressed.

A successful enterprise needs to exercise good judgment on where to invest scarce resources. This means not just coming up with the best solutions for individual business units, but also taking a holistic view of how these can be harmonized.

What is IT Strategy

An IT strategy is a document that outlines the company's technology goals and plans for how to achieve them. It helps minimize risks in your technology investments while maximizing efficiency, allowing you to get the most out of your business's technology assets. This might include budgeting, operating models, and software updates.
