A comprehensive strategy is fundamental for transforming your IT landscape from its current status to the target status your organisation desires.

The ICT strategy is created in order to solve actual business problems with your IT systems and processes, by assigning responsibilities and creating a budget for them. There is no such thing as a “stand-alone” ICT strategy, but it will always support and implement the strategic needs defined in the business strategy.

As specified in the ICT guidelines of the European supervisory authority eiopa it is mandatory, for companies falling under their regulation, to have an ICT strategy in place and to specify the planned improvements to their IT systems.​
