Measuring Business-IT Alignment

by William M. Ulrich

Business-IT alignment is critical to the near-term profitability and long-term success of your enterprise. Business-IT alignment is achieved when business requirements, strategy, infrastructure, and processes are synchronized with each other and with IT infrastructure, data, systems, and processes. If you cannot articulate the level of business-IT alignment within your enterprise, profits can suffer while opportunities are missed. A business-IT measurement program ensures that IT is leveraged to the greatest extent possible to control costs and maximize new business opportunities.
