- ICT must be an integral part of the Council’s business planning process.
- There must continue to be a strategic view of the way technology is applied across the organisation.
- The ICT organisation must continue to have real influence within the organisation.
- The delivery of IS/IT must offer, and be seen to offer, value for money.
- There must be a commitment to develop the right IS/IT skills for all employees.
- The risks associated with IS/IT must be properly managed.

Moreover, the ICT Strategy creates the critical link between the Council's Corporate Plans, Central Government initiatives and Information Technology.
