RONDON, José Alirio; CORTES ALDANA, Félix Antonio  and  ZARATE CARO, Edisson. Enterprise-process: computer-based application for obtaining a process-organisation matrix during strategic information system planning. Ing. Investig. [online]. 2007, vol.27, n.3, pp.203-209. ISSN 0120-5609.

A lot of material has been published about strategic information system planning (SISP) methodologies. These methods are designed to help information system planners to integrate their strategies with organisational strategies. Classic business system planning for strategical alignment (BSP/SA) theory stands out because it provides information systems with a reactive role regarding an organisation’s objectives and strategy. BSP/SA has been described in terms of phases and the specific tasks within them. This work was aimed at presenting a computer-based application automating one of the most important tasks in BSP/SA methodology (process-organisation matrix). This matrix allows storing information about the levels of present responsibilities in positions and processes. Automating this task has facilitated students’ analysing the process-organisation matrix during SISP workshops forming part of the Systems Management course (Systems Engineering, Universidad Nacional de Colombia). Improved results have thus arisen from such workshops. The present work aims to motivate software development for supporting SISP tasks.

Keywords : strategic information systems planning (SISP); processes; organisation; process-organisation matrix.
