Strategy, Policy & Standards
ICT Strategy & Policy
The necessity to use the potential of ICT and derive substantial business value from it has never been greater. ICT-driven business change can be an engine of competitive advantage to satisfy your customers and citizens—a reality agreed by organizations in both the public and private sector.
An ICT strategy is a document that defines the guidelines, areas, and tasks for a given period (usually mid-term and long-term) for the institution. It describes the IT foundation needed for information management and task management across the institution’s scope of duties, and what must be implemented to meet its targets. The ICT strategy defines IT-related tasks and aims based on the current IT situation of the institution or system of institutions, in line with their scope of tasks, mission, strategic vision, and priorities. It also outlines the schedules of tasks in broad terms—including their connectedness and sequence. Where required, a detailed action plan is drawn up, including strategy implementation tasks broken down into quarterly periods and financial estimates.

ICT Standards
ICT is integral and vital in every business plan. It plays a key role in maintaining and expanding an organization’s objectives and strategies. It facilitates communication, inventory management, information systems management, customer relationship management, and competitiveness through product quality. In multinational corporations that handle vast amounts of data, ICT is essential for data management.
IT standardization decentralizes the decision-making process by involving the executive and critical users so that their input improves the corporation’s performance. Communication and information flow are enhanced among employees, customers, vendors, executives, and IT regulating bodies.
IT standardization expands an organization’s vision and focus. At Baz International Consultancy Services we help you determine the technology standards to implement so that your consumers, users, and administration derive optimum benefits.
