“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!”
