having a tendency to state position of the organization. As appeared by the report 2016, the
methodology for required organization by engineering of essential points identified with the
organization should be more sensible. The clients of the organization require Symantec, Cadence

8STRATEGIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS
and Intuit (Pan et al. 2016). Moreover, the clients of the organization depend after snatching of
high improvement that depends upon clear discernment of nature of the headway and adequacy
