If your fundamental approach to technology isn't in the strategic plan mix, well, it's just not done yet. Whether your a small service company or a large developer, technology in your strategic plan is a great way to sort out substantial cost savings, open new market segments or expand marketing in a cost effective way. Here, you can build on current technology resources or enhance them, close the doors on outdated and inefficient resources or earmark some budget dollars to develop a new approach.
Staff is a critical element of an effective technology plan. It could be training or talent acquisition. When you're looking at staff in terms of technology, a good balance of non-human technology resources and human resources is important if you want to leverage technology in the most effect way for your organization. There's little point in hiring a hot shot programmer if your software or hardware properties aren't up to par.
