Companies assume information systems, particularly information and communication technologies, as strategic tools for the generation of competitive advantages. However, it is in the information, as the main economic resources in the information society, that should be concentrated management attention. Only information can provide the achievement of competitive advantages. It is important that management, in the various organizational domains, can ensure that the information architecture satisfies the different functional requirements corresponding to the different organizational areas. It is also important to ensure that the investments made in systems and technologies generate economic value to the organization.
