IT Strategy

Companies are becoming increasingly complex entities, thus their need for management control is also increasing. A major reason for this is the continuing drive towards concentration. Additionally, companies frequently face ever-changing market situations requiring continuous adaptation and flexibility.

This creates complex tasks and challenges which the IT department must tackle and master in order to be prepared to deal with the rapidly changing demands from the company's daily business. On the one hand, it is important to keep a tight rein on growth in IT costs while at the same time maintaining high IT standards. On the other hand, IT must be able to provide flexible and optimal support for the strategic and operative objectives of the company within the framework of an IT governance.

IT strategy is the management instrument for two main objectives: first, for achieving corporate objectives through the targeted use of IT developments; second, for increasing the productivity of the IT organization. There is a range of tried and tested approaches which can help to master the complex situations and challenges.
