Evaluating your computer investment strategy

Abstract

Expenditure in computerized information systems continues to rise as a percentage of a company's income. The increasing encouragement given by the information systems industry to regard this expenditure as a business opportunity has made CEOs regard this expenditure less as a necessary operational cost and more as an investment. However, the 'post-crash' environment from 1987, and the 1990-93 recession have brought to business a new atmosphere of cost justification in information technology (IT) expenditure, and managers are seeking a realistic benefit evaluation to accompany computer investment submissions to the board.KeywordsBusiness ProcessInvestment StrategyElectronic MailDebit CardInvestment OrientationThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
