The IT strategy provides you with the plan for the long-term development of your IT organisation, necessary technologies, processes and digital culture.Get in touch with us

The central task of IT is to support business processes in a demand-oriented, cost-efficient and secure manner. The IT strategy describes the ways to achieve this goal and ensures that the desired changes are implemented in a holistic manner.

In this way, suitable technical solutions and IT services are to be defined for business-critical processes, and efficient and secure IT operation is to be guaranteed in the long term.

What further developments (in the environments, in the organisation itself) are conceivable but currently not predictable?
What conclusions can be drawn from this for the developments of one's own core strategy?

Performance in focus:
Companies can no longer compete successfully without IT, and public administration is also dependent on IT. The IT strategy must reflect the growing demands on IT, especially with regard to the digital transformation, the cultural change in work and the increasing cybercrime.
Binding target picture:
Derived from the corporate strategy, the IT strategy summarises the medium- to long-term goals and design fields for the IT of a company/authority in a binding manner. It also defines measures to track the implementation of the IT strategy, to constantly review the strategic orientation and to flexibly adapt to changing conditions if necessary.
Holistic view:
An IT strategy should sufficiently take into account all relevant parameters (corporate goals, established processes along the value chain, existing resources and technologies, ongoing projects, customer and supplier requirements, organisational and technological developments, etc.).
