You have it backwards. IS strategy must align with business strategy. IS, IT, ICT, and all technology are simply tools to support the business. The benefits from aligning the tools with the business strategy are effective use of capital and improved efficiency of business functions. The latter provides a faster time to market, improved flexibility to changing market requirements, and greater return from the business functions which may include reduced payroll or a delayed payroll expansion.
