“the future of business will be determined by its use of
information”
Businesses see information as a valuable asset and seek to make the
best use of information to support their business activities. The
use of information is driven by the needs of the business and is
supported by systems and technology. The hierarchy of information
strategy is as follows:
- Business strategy: sets the direction of the business and is
supported by the Information Systems (IS) strategy
- IS strategy: identifies the requirement / needs and priorities
for information in the business
- Information and Communication Technology (ICT) strategy:
identifies the infrastructure and services to deliver the IS
strategy
The UK Academy of Information Systems (UKAIS) defines IS as “the
means by which people and organisations, utilising technology,
gather, process, store, use and disseminate information”.
ICT acknowledges the convergence of traditional information
technology and telecommunications and refers to hardware, software
and telecommunications technology.
Applications can be developed that use ICT to enable the best use
of information, as well as supporting key business activities and
processes.
“Information – the most valuable asset of the 21st Century –
managed!”
