STRATEGIC BUSINESS AND IT ALIGNMENT : REPRESENTATION AND EVALUATION

Nowadays, business IT alignment has become a priority in most large organization. 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. Many works showed the importance of documentation, the analysis and the evaluation of business IT alignment, but few proposed solutions applicable to the strategic and functional level. This paper aims has to fill this gap by proposing a simple approach for modeling and evaluate enterprise strategy in the context of strategic alignment. This approach is illustrated by case study of a real project in a Moroccan public administration.
