IT Procurement
What is IT procurement?
IT procurement is a group of processes for the purchase and implementation of information technology (IT) in accordance with organization strategy. An organization that uses IT must have a way to procure the IT products and services it needs to operate. IT procurement practices range from ad-hoc to fine-grained and highly strategic. In general, IT procurement involves a collection of processes that focus on identifying business and strategic needs for IT, selecting the appropriate solutions, and then executing the purchases themselves. There are usually separate processes for new initiatives versus existing IT updates.
Why IT Procurement?
Procuring IT is—or should be—about more than just buying IT products and services. IT procurement serves a vital role in the realization of strategic and operational goals. Given the centrality of IT to business success and overall transformation, IT procurement should engage key stakeholders from business, finance, and IT itself. The process has to identify what IT can serve the business and then follow through with the best possible IT investment decisions.
