A company’s strategy should drive what it does and the goals the company should pursue. A company’s strategy is implemented through many tactical decisions, each of which relies on tools and technologies to fulfill. Information systems are some of the tools and technologies companies use to fulfill decisions and hence implement strategy.
Agreed. Each information system has to be tailored to the client’s needs. All stakeholders should know exactly what they need and the responsible party should make a decision based on the price.
There are several strategies affect the information systems a company choose to develop and use.
First, the imposition of structure on the developmental effort of the systems. It needs more communication and responsibility of team members. Because of the existence of technological infrastructure able to support and sustain the new system to be implemented
Secondly, make planning, budge, and development to support successfully. Because the success of information system projects needs for a clear and well defined IS goal.
Finally, good leadership is all vital ingredients to ensure the successful implementation as well as utilization of a newly deployed information system. So, the selection of competent and qualified staff to serve as members of the information system of the project team is very important.
I agree these points. Good project manager need to make a good decision and communicate with team member. Team member can find and analysis questions from project and fix them. This is a good team.
Strategy affect which information systems a company choose to develop and use because organizations need to have a good understanding of their IT environment, business continuity plan, logical access control to have a good strategy that fit their needs.
An organization can decide whether it wanted to focus more on its’ hardware, software, databases or network depending on its’ strategy. For example, a company like Google would want to have every aspect of information systems because it kept its’ business going. On the other hand, for a small local business such as a restaurant, it would not need as many information systems as Google does because the IT environment for a local restaurant is not facing a big cybersecurity threat.
Hi, Yuchong
Good point on business should decide which information system they should choose based on their IT environment. Business needs, budgets and how many IT professions they have all impact their decisions.
However, business continuity plan and logical access control would be better to update base on the new information system the company chooses.
Hi Yuchong, I agree with your point about the business need to understand their IT environment first. The company first needs to have a good strategy, otherwise, the business will not last long. It needs to distinguish itself from other competitors. Then based on its strategy, the company can decide what kinds of information system it wants to use to help its business.
At the end of the day, a business will choose which information system is the most cost-effective. They want it to cover their needs, but not be too expensive. A business analyst, or manager, has to represent the IT side of the project to make sure that the problem and solution are both communicated in a way that both parties understand what is going on. Furthermore, this all depends on how risk-averse a company is. The more risk-averse, the more they are willing to pay for a better information system.
Absolutely- most business decisions are ultimately determined by the notion of how to operate efficiently while not squandering money on unnecessary materials. Some may assume that a company would rather err on the side of caution, however it might not be a worthwhile investment to have systems with controls that have a low probability of ever being used.
IS projects fail could due to many reasons, but ultimately all reasons related to proper project management/planning as well as not meeting the business needs.
It could due to poor scope. The scope document is important in an IS project, and project failure could because of scope creep or changing the scope in the mid of project. A very well change management and communication plan is also key in an IS project. Some other element in a project such as time, budget, work breakdown structure, risk assessment also impacts the result of a project.
Other than project management, understanding the client’s needs is a foundation of a successful project, which means a IS project would fail if the BA team did a poor job of interviewing and documenting business requirements.
There are many types of information systems around, such as transaction processing systems, decision support systems, knowledge management systems, learning management systems, database management systems, and office information systems.
Information systems serve the company’s goal and objectives because the value of IT is to bring profit or reduce cost eventually. Therefore, depending on the company’s’ long term goal, budget, and core business, they choose different information systems. For example, a grocery store would choose transaction processing systems more than others such as point of sale systems. After choosing an information system, companies would have to choose to buy off-the-shelf products or develop one in-house. Its really on the cost and the level of customization the company needs. The same example, a grocery store probably does not need to develop its own information system in-house.
I agree as well, by outlining the company’s business goals/objectives first, they can choose what Information systems to implement. After figuring what exactly they wish to achieve, the most suitable solution would be able to be crafted. Whichever IS systems the company chooses to use, defining the objectives and creating a strategy from that would give the company the most suitable IS solution.
Hi Shuyue, good job on listing all these information systems first. Information system brings convenience and often reduce cost or increase profit for an organization. The strategy a company chooses could definitely affect what information systems they want to implement.
An organization’s strategy is based on its goals and what risks they are willing to take to achieve that goal. In order to develop an appropriate strategy, we must take into consideration how this piece of technology will affect the end user, those on the operations side, and consider any drawbacks that may arise. We can tie this back to breaking a project down to a basic level- an organization’s strategy should have a clear path and emergency measures in case of unforeseen difficulties.
Hi Sarah, thanks for mentioning the importance of having appropriate strategy and I totally agree with you. I think the strategies and goals are always tied together, and only if the strategies suits the company’s needs, the project can bring positive effects and ultimately succeed.
Hi Sarah, you are right on this. Companies decide their strategies to achieve one certain goal. The information system can be cheap and expensive at the same time, the strategy a company chooses can definitely affect the choice of a company’s information system. If the company’s strategy is to reduce cost, they would probably choose a cheaper information system. But if a company’s strategy is to speed up the process or maximizing profit, they would choose a more expensive information system.
The process an organization goes through when deciding which information systems to advance and implement into their business operations is often quite complex and interlinked with the organization’s business strategies. An example of how an organization’s business strategy and choice in information systems
are related would be an organization with a profit-maximizing business strategy choosing to invest in an information system that improves the quality or quantity produced without incurring additional production cost. Another example would an a cost-minimizing business choosing to invest in an information system that reduces any of the costs associated with the production or shipping of products.
Projects are supposed to be identified and defined within a larger development context. One example is to link the development plan closely with national plans and international business trends. The goal is the clarity of the definition of long-term development objectives.
Question 3 Comment: As stated in the text, “For an organization, the major reason of acquiring IT applications is to effectively and efficiently support one or more business processes.” Therefore, it is important for the organization to align its information systems with its business objectives. The organization should consider a cost versus risk matrix prior to selecting any information systems as well.
Thank you for sharing your idea. I agree with that it is important for the organization to align its information systems with its business objectives.and the organization should consider a cost versus risk matrix prior to selecting any information systems as well.
Correct, In your word, projects are supposed to be identified and defined within a larger development context. Make an example of data, business strategy could resulted in the generation of large amounts for data which need to be screened and processed, the innovation strategy is seen in the information technology that the company employs to deal with this flood of data,
Strategies that affect the way companies develop/use the information systems include leadership structure the company has and what tools specifically need to fulfill their IS goals. Leadership structure shapes the way implementation can go, for the project to complete successful, defined budgets and organized planning is essential. Also, to have a clear IS goal will affect which system they choose to implement and how development will go.
Hello,
After reading through your detailed response regarding the ways that strategy can impact the information systems a company chooses to incorporate, my understanding of the significance of a company’s type of leadership and organizational structure has improved. I also found your thought process quite interesting when you went on to explain how appropriate and organized leadership even plays an important role in intricate but necessary information system project elements, including defining appropriate budgets.
Hi Mei, I agree that the business strategy from the top needs to be the dictating force for whether or not an IS project will be impact or necessary. The leadership structure from management styles, communication, and culture can all impact the way an IS product is undergone. And finally, setting milestones in the beginning ans sticking to those deadlines is key from a project management perspective. From you experience, has a management style or strategy positively or negatively affected a project you were on? Great job all around!
A company’s strategy will often affect which information systems a company chooses to develop and use, because its systems development practices should align with the company’s identity, objectives, and current situation. For example, start-up companies often utilize cloud technologies to realize savings on their infrastructure projects. This is because the start-up company usually has a focus on an innovative competitive advantage and will invest the most resources in developing that aspect of the business, which wouldn’t be achieved if it built its own infrastructure from scratch. At the same time, established companies can afford to take on and manage more complex information systems, depending the strategic goals of the company.
Many different strategies and business models are possible, even for companies in the same industry similar products or services. However, perfectly strategy is the firm’s working plan for achieving its vision, prioritizing objectives, competing successful, and match financial performance with its company model.
At our current junction of technological advancement, society, and business the choice of which systems to implements have become imperative and challenging. The challenge has arose as a result of the downstream impact that IS decisions have on all departments within a company. Therefore, the strategy defined by the board of directors and the various committee’s needs to align with the strategies of each department and the business as a whole. A way to ensure strategic alignment would be by having subject matter experts (SMEs)on the board of directors. With SMEs on the board the best strategy for the entire company will be put forth — through collaboration. Once he ideal strategy is outlined, then the selection of the IS that will produce the most benefit for an organization should be identifiable.
Insightful point about the involvement of SMEs in the strategic decision making process for projects. Also, when the board of directors may not have an SME with experience in a given technology, it would be smart to seek out someone who does. Informed decision making, especially with newer technologies, is essential for strategic success.
How does strategy affect which information systems a company chooses to develop and use?
A company’s strategy is based on its business needs/objectives and its short-term/long-term goals. A company’s strategy is implemented through decision-making, all of which relies on numerous tools and technologies. Information systems are some of the tools and technologies companies use to fulfill these decisions. “Therefore, organizations have to plan for the long term when acquiring information systems and services that will support business initiatives… Once the need for a specific information system has been established, the system has to be acquired. This is generally done in the context of the already existing information systems architecture of the firm. The acquisition of information systems can either involve external sourcing (vendors) or rely on internal development or modification.”
The information system could help a company achieve its goal so the company’s strategy affects which information systems a company chooses to develop and use. The information system is different from the past, which used the simple mode of information technology, such as improving efficiency, reducing labor and auxiliary decision-making, but the information technology together with the company’s business strategy, direct auxiliary management strategy implementation, or offers a new solution for the implementation of the strategy. It could also change the management and operation mode of enterprises, and bring competitive advantages to enterprises or weaken the advantages of competitors. A company should choose the information system based on their strategy.
Companies needs to figure out the importance of IS when making strategy. For example. If companies lack emphasis on information systems and competition or the management have limited awareness and knowledge, it will be difficult to make strategic decisions on information systems. Without appropriate accurate estimation of the whole project, the company cannot respond to the bring in of the strategic information systems due to their limited resources. In addition, the company needs to verify the purpose of the information system. If the focus of the company is limited to internal business operations, it is difficult to identify the potential from information technology.
From my understanding, I would say that Strategic planning helps organization to establish priorities and to better meet its mission. Strategic plan helps to identify relevance of the technology to each of the organization’s strategic business goals and changes the organization will need to make to its information and communications infrastructure. Organization’s information system must be aligned with its long-term strategic plan, goals and objectives and it is dependent on the organization’s strategic plans.
Agree, strategy should match with company’s goal and follow its purpose. For different companies, their information system have different existing purpose. At meanwhile, company would change strategy during the time because outstanding environment is always changing and companies need to change IS to match its step.
In my opinion, strategy is essential for information system project development. it shows the position of organization to let people know the reason why the organization need information system. Information systems (IS) are formal, sociotechnical, organizational systems designed to collect, process, store, and distribute information[. At the meantime, it is important to know how much resource should be put on the system development. for different organization, there should be different position of IS in different organization. For IT company, information is really important. However, for some house rent company, IS may not be that important, so they would save resource to put in other department.
Hi, Yuan, I agree that the strategy is important for IS project development based on the function of showing the position of an organization to let people know the necessity of IS.
Decision Making Strategy in IT Acquisition: The term “acquisition” refers to every one of the phases from purchasing, presenting, applying, embracing, adjusting, limiting, and creating through to dissemination. The acquisition issue is multifaceted for different reasons including a vast assortment of IT applications, a quick change in new innovation, and the association of a few business elements in the association. The arrangement of procedures for the manufacture, rent, or purchase choice must be indistinguishable for each occurrence or business opportunity that emerges. The procedures decide the key esteem and potential funds of the proposed undertaking, just as elements like business change versus drive for the upper hand.
The scope of IT applications stipulates an assortment of development approaches. The application itself can be procured by in-house improvement, purchase, rent, re-appropriate, or any mix of two. For instance, an organization site can be produced in-house with HTML, JAVA, or some other web programming languages.
There is strong link between a business strategy and the Information System as well as the organization of any business. First of all, the company should understand their business strategy, for example, they need to question themselves that what the business goal or subjective is , what the plan to achieve it and what are critical components of it. And then they make decisions regarding IS components such as hardware and software applications are all dependent on the type of strategy which a business adopts and pursues.
