effective IT management and clear frameworks
From Plan to Impact
The IT strategy defines the overarching framework for the future direction of a company's information technology and IT infrastructure. It is closely aligned with the corporate strategy and represents a central component of holistic IT management.
The aim of the IT strategy is to support the long-term corporate objectives through a targeted, efficient, and sustainable use of IT. It creates clear guardrails for decisions, investments, and the continued development of the technological landscape.
As a strategic compass, IT strategy dictates the direction for the deployment of new technologies, the optimisation of existing systems, and the design of the IT architecture. It consistently follows the corporate strategy and is derived from the overarching objectives and existing business processes.
The results of the analysis of the current situation serve as the basis for developing a target IT state to achieve the company's objectives.

For the development and implementation of an IT strategy, there are various approaches. As it is fundamentally aligned with the overarching business strategy, it can be subdivided into various sub-strategies.
PARTIAL STRATEGIES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN IT STRATEGY
After the sub-strategies have been developed, the IT strategy will be evaluated and officially adopted. In this phase, corresponding specifications will be made for all five sub-strategies: infrastructure strategy, sourcing strategy, application strategy, innovation strategy, and investment strategy. Implementation will begin following the adoption of the IT strategy. This is not a one-off process, as the requirements and guidelines of the strategy must be continuously implemented and embedded in all areas of the company.
