In this new economy, organizations that fail to exploit today's and tomorrow's information technology to re-engineer their business processes may not be around to see the 21st century.  Companies that do not engineer their computer applications from an information and integrated systems architecture based on their company's strategic business plans may fall significantly behind their competition.

This seminar shows you how your organization can more fully exploit today's information technology for strategic advantage by applying the same management principles as are used to manage other corporate assets.  This begins with strategic information planning as an integral part of strategic business planning.

Strategic information plans that are based on strategic business objectives are three times more likely to be successful than long range systems development plans which are not.  This workshop will focus on how your organization can develop more successful long range systems development plans through a planning process which integrates the business plans and information systems development.

Upon completion of this seminar, you will be able to:

• Identify when a SIP should be performed
• List who should be involved in the strategic information planning process
• Describe how to insure management commitment of the SIP

• State how to initiate a strategic information plan

• Identify and list critical success factors and business objectives

• Develop an enterprise-focused information model

Lecture with exercises and case study to reinforce the concepts.
