Strategic Alignment: Comparison of Approaches
Conference paper
Abstract
Nowadays, the strategic alignment of information systems has become a priority in most large organizations. It is a question of aligning the information system on the business strategies of the organization. This step is aimed at increasing the practical value of the information system and makes it a strategic asset for the organization. In the literature several approaches have been developed to solve the problem of alignment. For example the approach of alignment between architecture and the business context, the approach needs oriented, approach alignment between process and information system...etc. In this paper we propose a detailed study of each approach (benefits and limitation) and we propose a comparison between these different approaches.
