- ZeitschriftenartikelCan ITIL contribute to IT/business alignment? An initial investigation(Wirtschaftsinformatik: Vol. 48, No. 5, 2006) Kashanchi, Ramisa; Toland, JanetStrategic alignment has been viewed as one of the main concerns of management and IT executives. Organizations have realized that in order to achieve competitive advantage, IT needs to be strategically aligned with business objectives. Strategic alignment enables organizations to choose IT applications that meet their needs and as a result, to enhance their profitability and reduce costs. Despite the importance of this matter and a large body of literature written on this subject, it has not yet been identified how it can be successfully achieved and maintained. This paper attempts to provide insight on this matter by investigating an initiative called Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL), which ensures the effective and efficient delivery of IT services. The intention of this research was to identify how effective ITIL was in improving alignment between IT and business objectives.The Strategic Alignment Model (SAM) developed by Henderson and Venkatraman was used for this research. This consists of four parts: IT strategy; business strategy; organizational infrastructure and processes; and IS infrastructure and processes. By placing ITIL in the internal domain of the model as a substitute for the IS infrastructure and processes it has been identified that it has the ability to impact the other three main areas of the model and as result enables alignment between all the four parts of model to be achieved.In addition to the above an empirical study has been conducted in order to further investigate the ability of ITIL in achieving alignment between IT and business objectives. Four participants have been interviewed from three organizations ranging from education and banking to the IT sector. The results of the research indicate that ITIL has potential as an effective approach in achieving alignment.
- ZeitschriftenartikelDie Bedeutung des Alignment von IT und Fachressourcen in Finanzprozessen Eine empirische Untersuchung(Wirtschaftsinformatik: Vol. 48, No. 5, 2006) Beimborn, Daniel; Franke, Jochen; Gomber, Peter; Wagner, Heinz-Theo; Weitzel, TimKernpunkteIn diesem Beitrag wird im Rahmen einer empirischen Studie mit den 1.000 größten deutschen Banken gezeigt, wie im Zusammenspiel von Fach-und IT-Ressourcen und dem Alignment beider Bereiche die Geschäftsprozessleistung positiv beeinflusst werden kann. Es zeigt sich insbesondere, dasssowohl IT-Ressourcen als auch fachliche Ressourcen einen positiven Einfluss auf die Prozessleistung aufweisenAlignment als eigenständiger Faktor einen singulären Wertbeitrag aufweistauch eine sehr gute IT Schwächen auf Seiten der Fachabteilungen nicht kompensieren kann und ein Geschäftswertbeitrag durch IT somit auch maßgeblich von Faktoren abhängt, die häufig nicht im Einflussbereich der IT liegen.AbstractImportance of the Alignment of IT and Business Resources in Financial Processes — An Empirical Study How do firms realize business value from deploying IT in business processes? Based on the Resource-based View and insights from recent literature on IT/business alignment, we argue that actual usage and the alignment of IT and business units are important prerequisites for a superior performance of IT-intensive business processes. In this paper, a causal model on the joint impact of IT usage, IT/business alignment and business resources on business process performance is proposed and empirically validated using data from Germany’s 1.000 largest banks.It turns out that the perceived performance of the focal business process, as predicted in the theoretical model, strongly depends on IT/business alignment. The empirical analysis also shows that business resources have a large impact and that even a superior IT cannot compensate business resource deficiencies. The results thereby provide support for important propositions of the literature on alignment from a process perspective and contribute to common knowledge that the business value of IT should not be assessed without evaluating and controlling for business resources as a complementary factor.
