Excerpt from Top Priorities for the Information Systems Function

Computer systems have become critical to the daily operation of most large companies. In fact for many corporations, computer-based information systems have become key to competitiveness in the marketplace. In addition to supporting the routine operational functions, computer-based information systems are being used more and more to support the information needs of managers.

In a continually changing technical environment, information systems are also changing the nature of their relationship with the rest of the company. It is thus critical that the informa tion systems (i/s) function be well-managed. The i/s depart ment must allocate its resources, particularly its scarce management and personnel resources, in order to best meet the company' 5 business needs. For i/s planning to be relevant and effectively implemented, senior and middle level user managers must be involved in assessing success, setting priorities, and allocating resources. The company's top priorities for the information systems function must be understood and endorsed by both i/s and user management.
