The best companies, and their CIOs, recognize the importance of ready access to the right information to drive the right choices between different variables. To help determine whether your Information Management function is moving toward a strategic approach, CIO should take some time to determine whether the solutions the implement do the following:

  • Accelerate enterprise operations through automation, workflow, and collaboration
  • Improve business analysis and decision support by providing historical and forward-looking views, including benchmarks
  • Deploy performance management tools that analyze the company and its information technology resources
  • Maximize enterprise revenues, products, services, and reputation
  • Implement solutions that meet comprehensive management and compliance requirements

In addition, a truly integrated systemic foundation should CIOs achieve the following:

  • Develop a closed-loop management process of strategy formulation, communication of goals, and measurement
  • Monitor the performance of strategic key success factors using external and internal benchmarks
  • Use tools that support a strategic planning process that integrates global strategic planning and specific operational planning problems in which IT is truly aligned with the business

In a similar way, you can also determine whether you are on the right track if your IT solutions provide the following:

  • A single source for financial and operational information
  • A timely access to accurate data, improving communication between IT, finance, and operations
  • Increased alignment between front and back office applications, enabling management to better administer and track business strategy and decisions
  • Reduced cost of compliance with industry regulations
  • Improved security and controls and reduced risk of contractual and regulatory noncompliance
  • Improved predictability, particularly with budget
