A lot of material has been published about strategic information system planning (SISP) methodologies. These methods are designed to help information system planners to integrate their strategies with organisational strategies. Classic business system planning for strategical alignment (BSP/SA) theory stands out because it provides information systems with a reactive role regarding an organisation’s objectives and strategy. BSP/SA has been described in terms of phases and the specific tasks within them. This work was aimed at presenting a computer-based application automating one of the most important tasks in BSP/SA methodology (process-organisation matrix). This matrix allows storing information about the levels of present responsibilities in positions and processes. Automating this task has facilitated students’ analysing the process-organisation matrix during SISP workshops forming part of the Systems Management course (Systems Engineering, Universidad Nacional de Colombia). Improved results have thus arisen from such workshops. The present work aims to motivate software development for supporting SISP tasks.

Se ha publicado bastante sobre metodologías para la planeación estratégica en informática. Estos métodos son diseñados para ayudar a los administradores de sistemas de información a integrar sus estrategias con las de la empresa. La teoría clásica Business System Planning for Strategical Alignment (BSP/SA) se destaca porque proporciona a los sistemas de información un papel reactivo respecto a los objetivos y estrategia de la empresa.

BSP/SA ha sido descrita en términos de fases y tareas específicas. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es dar a conocer una herramienta computacional que automatiza una de las tareas más importantes de la metodología BSP/SA, la matriz proceso-organización. Esta matriz permite almacenar información sobre los niveles de responsabilidades presentes entre los cargos y los procesos. La automatización de esta tarea ha facilitado a los estudiantes el proceso de análisis de la matriz proceso-organización, durante el desarrollo de los talleres de planeación estratégica en informática para la asignatura de gestión y gerencia de sistemas (Ingeniería de Sistemas - Universidad Nacional de Colombia). También se han mejorado los resultados obtenidos en los talleres. Finalmente, con el presente trabajo se pretende incentivar el desarrollo de software como apoyo a las tareas de planeación estratégica en informática.
