ITPEC IP April 2025 Question 95
ITPEC IP April 2025 — Question 95 of 100
Information systems strategy is created on the basis of business strategy — IT direction must support the organization's goals and competitive choices.
Business strategy defines objectives, target markets, capabilities, and priorities. Information systems strategy then determines how data, applications, infrastructure, investment, and governance will enable those objectives. Alignment also requires feedback when technology creates new business possibilities.
Answer (b)
Why not others:
- (a) produces disconnected investments that may not support business priorities
- (c) reverses the primary relationship
- (d) incorrectly limits both strategies to separate departments; they are enterprise concerns
Key rule: Derive and align the systems portfolio with business objectives rather than treating IT as an independent departmental plan.
