This document provides a high level IT strategy plan for BDPA. It outlines key focus areas for IT such as managing risk, setting strategic direction, managing demand, building capabilities, and running and optimizing operations. It describes example needs that IT must deliver like cyber security, secure sign on, analytics, and member management systems. The strategy would work on new technologies to engage members and help BDPA prioritize projects. Next steps include reviewing the plan with leadership, identifying stakeholders, conducting analysis, and facilitating workshops to estimate costs for the 2012 budget.
