Research: Adoption of Formal Strategic Information Systems Planning (SISP) Processes



As technology evolves, it becomes indispensable to both citizen and businesses in our society. In fact, technology is critical to the survival and growth of any organization. This immense demand on IT makes its management ever more challenging. In order to manage technology systems and infrastructure and make sure IT investments are aligned with business' goals, it is important to have a well thought through strategy. Senior Leaders recognize this imperative however it is not clear to what extent companies are creating effective and efficient IT strategies.

This research explored this issue by comparing the views of information technology and business managers at three companies with business documents and published papers.

The conclusion: "there is no formal planning process in the three companies and the IS/IT and business planning is done on an ad-hoc basis. There is a move towards the alignment of the plans. However, the companies are yet to use SISP to achieve the alignment of IS/IT plan and business plans."
