Working definition of ISS
An information system strategy is about creating a fit among information
system activities.
To us this means a three way fit between business needs, current IT
systems and new opportunities offered by technology.
The need for an information system strategy will depend upon an
organisation's size and line of business. The larger an organisation and
the greater the information content of the product or value chain then
the greater the need for an enterprise-wide information
system strategy.
