"Must have" and "Nice to have"

Investments in IT should be based on strategic priorities, hence the concept of Governance. Company senior leadership has to have a true understanding of what the strategy is and how to allocate funding based on strategic goals. In absence of true leadership it will be very difficult to differentiate between "must have" and "nice to have" IT technologies.

IT funding in the Construction Industry is very tight, I have seen cases of less than half of a percent of the Company revenues, so in order to decide between Projects like:



- Server Virtualization

- Disaster Recovery Platform

- Analytics

- Application Development

- Infrastructure, etc.


Sound business case must exist otherwise no IT funding will be allocated.
