Strategic Plan Development
Development of the IT Vision, happens through an interactive process with Murray City’s leadership and Stakeholders. Networld Solution’s Technology Consultant will work with Murray City through the following process:1. Define Murray City’s Strategic Objectives as related to Information Technology, and
technology-based systems using SWOT analysis.2. From the Objectives, the team will identify Business Needs. 3. A formal review of the Business Needs are presented to the Project committee for
confirmation.4. From Business Needs, technology-based Systems are identified to support these needs.5. The feasibility study is performed and systems are prioritized. The feasibility study will seek
to understand the Murray City’s near- and long-term fiscal environment.6. The final deliverable of this phase is the IT Vision document which will state the Murray City’s
technology objectives, needs and long-range plan.ReviewCurrent
