Overview

In 2014, the annual global IT expenditure exceeded 3.5 trillion USD! Gartner's 1Q15 forecast shows that 2015 global spending for enterprise software will be $337.2 billion, with a growth of 6.4% over 2014 (Gartner Market DataBook, 2015Q1 Update). A significant portion of this will be spent on business and management consulting and services—much of which involves redesigning firms’ business operations to take advantage of ever-increasing technological innovations. Computer-based information systems continue to be a critical part of the products, services, operations, and management of organizations. Information systems and information technology can be so critical as to disrupt classic business models, threatening traditional revenue streams and even driving industry sectors to extinction. The print newspaper industry, travel agencies, real estate agencies, and video rental stores represent industries that have been forced to change their business models and operations in response to the introduction of new information technologies and systems. The effective and efficient use of modern technologies is an important element in maintaining or achieving competitive advantage for business organizations. The information technology/information systems strategy is an integral part of organizational strategy.
