Business Integration

During this course, you will complete individual papers addressing an IT business integration issue.

For your opening paper, consider your current organization or one with which you are very familiar. You may also want to speak with the IT manager or director in order to get additional information. Research how your organization either uses or can use IT strategically to help the business gain or maintain a competitive advantage.

In your opening paper(1), include a paragraph that introduces the organization and the business market they serve. In your next paragraph describe the organization’s strategic approach to using IT. Conclude your paper with a summary paragraph introducing your opening thoughts and recommendations regarding areas where the organization may be able to address gaps in IT strategy and value to the business.

Submit your opening research summary as a minimum 1-page paper. (One page of content, not including the cover page or references page)
