A good plan not only helps an organization reach its business goals but also helps it prevent issues. An IT plan can help an organization reduce dependencies and ensure business continuity, optimally utilize resources, avoid crises, save costs and improve productivity.

As might already be clear, an IT plan is a comprehensive and probably, a complex document covering a lot of things. It also needs to be noted that IT plans will vary across organizations depending on requirements and situations. So, an idea is given as to what should be your IT plan like.
Getting information
An IT plan will be always driven by the goals and principles of the organization, not the other way round. So, start by getting information on the principles, values and mission and goals of the organization. They provide the broad guidelines for framing an IT policy. In case there are no defined business goals or principles, departments can have their individual business goals, revenue, recruitment and sales targets, acquisition or partnership plans, cost reduction plans.

When you get down to creating an IT plan, you need to keep existing resources in mind. You can create easy-to-fill templates and circulate those among departments so that they are able to provide their specific requirements in terms of hardware and software. The main objective in mind should be to support the business.
Data protection and risk management
Data protection and crisis management are two of the basic tenets of an IT plan. Attacks are so common and varied these days that it is not a question of whether you can totally protect yourself but how you can limit those attacks. Uraditi ovo, you may consider hosting servers that are externally facing in an outsourced data center.

Make sure that all security patches or updates are applied on a regular basis. Lastly, whenever you have deployed a server or any other system, do not forget to change the default settings provided by the manufacturer. These settings are known to all including the hackers. To manage risks because of data loss, have sound backup systems.
Human Capital management
This includes having good HCM systems, time sheet reporting systems, appraisal and review support systems and so on.

This includes hardware and software supply, Internet services and other services. The plan should include day-to-day activities and monitoring as well.
Summary
An IT plan is an important part of the overall business plan. Despite its acknowledged importance, it may be a little difficult to formulate an IT plan because of ambiguous business goals and policies.
