Over the past few years the role of technology in business has become a critical success factor. Most organization's leverage information technology to help them deliver their products and services. But few organizations truly realize the business benefits that can be achieved from an effective technology strategy. The rapid pace of change in technology provides companies with new, cost-effective mechanisms to communicate with their customers, suppliers, employees, and key business partners. Properly harnessed, technology initiatives can enrich customer relationships, shorten supply chains, and streamline a number of internal processes so that a true return on investment is realized. The first step is to create alignment and consensus within the organization and build an action plan around those initiatives that will deliver the highest return.
