Business and IT Alignment: An Oracle View
If you’re a CIO or IT strategist Oracle’s view on Business and IT Alignment could help you design and evaluate IT strategies so that you can build a business case for IT.
As part of that view, Oracle introduces three elements; management excellence, operational excellence and technology excellence. Most people are familiar with the term operational excellence; optimising cost, quality, and speed. It has become a prerequisite to fuel the next level of competitive differentiation — management excellence — which is characterised by three other attributes; smart, agile, and aligned. Neither can be achieved without technology excellence; an IT strategy that focuses on being complete, open, and integrated.
So much has been said about business and IT alignment (BIA), what could possibly be added? There are IT governance principles, IT architectural concerns, areas of IT innovation, IT key performance indicators, and IT cost saving elements. However, ask ten people for a definition of what business and IT alignment means, and you will get twelve answers.
But, what about the business side? Although the business often challenges IT to show their benefits and overall value, most of the BIA discussions take place within IT. Alignment can only be successful if it comes from both sides. Is there an equally structured discussion taking place on the business side about how to receive the benefits from IT?
Is there a discussion on the business side on how to adapt corporate strategy to IT-driven innovation? Most CIOs have plenty of business performance indicators on their scorecards, but how many business executives manage their business with IT performance indicators? BIA doesn’t seem to be as reciprocal as it should be. And, while we are at it, what about business-to-business alignment?
IT can only be efficient and successful in the long term if it is based on a decent architecture. Long term success is difficult to achieve if the business treats IT in a stove-piped way, forcing business cases to focus on departmental benefits only.
