• IT InfrastructureConnection between the firm, IT infrastructure and Business Capabilities
The services a firm is capable of providing to its customers, suppliers, and employees are a
direct function of its IT infrastructure. Ideally, this infrastructure should support the firm’s
business and information systems strategy. New information technologies have a powerful
impact on business and IT strategies, as well as the services that can be provided to
customers.© Prentice Hall 20114
