The Importance of Strategy

With the vital role that technology plays in helping businesses fulfill their operations and objectives, it would only make sense that an Information Technology plan would be in place, and that it would keep in alignment with the overall strategic plan of the business. The old saying that “most people don’t plan to fail, they fail to plan” is very true in the world of technology management and a major reason why so many businesses struggle with knowing and making the right decisions on how to use and support technology for their organization. Many companies with a plan still fail because of unclear communications of the plan, lack of ownership and accountability of the plan, undefined expectations, and/or having goals and objectives that are not measurable. The result is a frustration with technology planning in general, and an operation that flounders because of the lack of direction and control of their IT initiatives. This is where Elect’s vCIO and Strategic IT Consulting services come to the rescue.
