University Information Technology (IT) Strategy and Architecture
A good IT strategic idea requires a planning model based on the information
architecture that is available with the organization. Information architecture refers to the
structure of all the information systems that are present in an organization.
In the most straightforward view, an IT engineering comprises of a depiction of the
mix of equipment, programming, information, work force, and broadcast communications
components inside an association, alongside methods to utilize them. Information architecture
for an association ought to direct the long-extend advancement and in addition take into
account responsiveness to differing, short-go data frameworks requests. Information
architecture and the business strategy for an organization go hand in hand.
One such example of such limitation of IT strategy is of healthcare organizations.
Information technology plays a very important role in healthcare organizations as it helps in
improving the efficacy and quality of patient care. Even the healthcare practitioners lay
emphasis on a sound IT strategy for the organization but it has been found that IT strategies
has been falling miserably in healthcare organizations and the main reason behind being the
lack of a proper information architecture for the implementation of the same. Many studies
have found out that the misalignments within the IT strategy as well as proper information
architecture are the main reason behind such failures. [Ive13]

as a deliberately imperative upper hand. On the off chance that arranged, created, and
oversaw legitimately, IT can achieve more prominent proficiency in authoritative operations,
better workplaces, and powerful basic leadership processes. Therefore, numerous associations
are attempting to get up to speed the improvement hole with the business by improving the
information architecture first. Technology procurement process is fundamental in building up a decent administration data framework for an association. Numerous IT anticipates have
fizzled in light of poor outline arranging, bogus determination of the improvement, and an
absence of follow up on key points of reference tended to in the obtaining procedure. [Rah06] References
