Information Systems Planning (ISP) helps IS integrate with the business. While IS o needs to be an integrated resource within the organisation contributing to the organisation's core competencies resulting in sustainable competitive advantage, IS planning is not a one-off or occasional event, but a continuous sustained process, as organisations plan and re-plan and respond to changes in the business environment. And nothing can describe the volatility of this environment better than the current Internet age. ISP helps by defining what the business is about, what is its strategy and purpose, identifying what IS one has and if it is effective and meeting the business needs, finding out existing technological opportunities and how it can support the business. ISP also helps dentifying what information systems are needed, when are they needed and how will they be implemented.
