“…All the panellists strongly agreed with this statement. This is in harmony with the literature given that Remenyi et al (2000) assert that SISP is one of the most successful means of aligning an IS with corporate strategy. Doherty et al (1999) aver that applications are selected for their alignment with company objectives.…”

“…The www.sajesbm.com Article no 144 demographic details indicated that this panellist had a matric certificate; therefore, it is understandable that this panellist would not be familiar with such subject specific terms, hence the exception. Remenyi et al (2000) and Doherty et al (1999) define SISP extensively. Based on these definitions, of all the panellists just one did not know what it meant.…”

“…Newkirk et al (2008) infer that SISP can be defined as the method of deciding what the resources of the company's computing system should be. Remenyi et al (2000) define SISP as the activity of instituting a program for the use and implementation of an IS so that optimisation of the company's information resources takes place. Doherty et al (1999) claim that a reason for using SISP is that it makes sure that enough resources are allotted to vital applications.…”

“…This flexible approach also needs to be cheaper and adapted to the difficulties and specificity of small firms. Remenyi et al (2000) claim that where ISs are concerned, competency is an issue. They point out that having all the IS requirements in-house is not as efficient and effective as having them in an in-house and outsourced combination.…”

Little is known about how Strategic Information Systems Planning (SISP) and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are linked in a developing country. SISP has also been a concern for many in the Information Technology (IT) industry and IT based businesses as a whole. This research seeks to address this shortcoming by exploring what constitutes a typical SME, what role Information Systems (ISs) play in SMEs and what role SISP plays in SMEs. Consequently, a Delphi panel comprising a questionnaire in the first phase and an interview in the second phase was employed. Some correlation was found to exist with the literature, with the exception of the role of IS in SMEs, whether SISP is an on-going activity, and the fact that SISP can be outsourced. Some new facts were discovered, especially on the topic of outsourcing.

Business strategy, operations, communication and technology have converged and resulted in increased demand for business flexibility. Chief Information Officers (CIOs) are particularly challenged because they operate at the intersection between information technology, their organisations, and society. Amidst increasing emphasis on cost-efficiency, information technology resource investment and emergence of new technologies, stakeholders need to understand the most relevant issues within a three-to five-year period. This study was undertaken to contribute to the body of knowledge around key information systems issues in South Africa, with its unique social issues. Thirty-one responses were received from South African CIOs surveyed in late 2004. The top issues were: Security and control, Building a responsive IT infrastructure, IT value management, Service delivery, and Improving IS strategic planning. The ranked list of issues was compared to previous studies, and further analysed by industry and source of IT services (in-house, outsource or combination). Industry and the sourcing of information services were found to have an effect on the ranking of key issues.
