IT Strategy & Alignment
“Without sufficient and close alignment with the surrounding environment, IT organisations will fail to deliver optimal results.”
IT Strategy is more than just creating a strategic plan for the next several years. It is a complex and political process, influenced by many internal and external factors. It should be linked to the corporate strategy, whereby the initiation, implementation and maintenance of an effective IT Strategy is a process that takes into account all relevant issues. Incorporating IT Governance aspects will provide control at the appropriate (board) level whilst increasing awareness of the IT opportunities and risks.
METRI often deals with in-depth operational and financial details of IT while at the same time translating this data to relevant information for IT management or CXO level. With its knowledge of market developments and the data that supports those developments, METRI uses its benchmarking experience to identify opportunities, risks and pitfalls. From this perspective, METRI is able to turn Business-IT alignment into a pragmatic and meaningful tool to optimise the usage of IT resources.
METRI believes that Business-IT Alignment starts at the top – in the Governance and strategic processes – and that it should work its way down to operations.
