disciplines extracted from the BITA model
combined with CEM dimensions of re-engineering
tasks. Then the authors have added methods that
offer alternatives according to situations and
constraint conditions for BPR. This framework will
suggest the effective use of IT, as well as the most
effective BPR implementation process, considering
the situation that companies currently face. To
achieve this purpose, the survey that the authors are
planning will cover the organizational sections of IT,
business planning, and end-users. Businesses will
get more value from IT by considering their
operational and strategic business needs. There are
several approaches that can be taken to align IT with
business. Some approaches focus on the roles of
individual IT contributors, while others focus on the
needs of the business side and their position in the
market. The authors will conduct a survey to clarify
if by using BITA-BPR, the IT department can
deliver the right support to various business
divisions to meet their strategic goals. The analysis
results from this research will contribute to effective
BPR by showing feasible options for companies.
