STRATEGY

Having an IT Strategy that is aligned to your short and long term business goals is an important foundational step for delivering successful IT Projects that meet ongoing business demands. An IT Strategy will ensure that you are not spinning up expensive IT Projects that either short deliver or deliver something that is partially out dated at point of delivery because the business has moved on.
Business Smart helps organisations define an IT Strategy by working in collaboration with your Business and IT Leadership. We seek out the input of key Stakeholders and Technical Experts to ensure that we devise an IT Strategy that is realistic and can be implemented.
