<p>Strategic  information  systems  (IS)  planning  aligns  an  organization's  information  systems  with  its  critical  strategic  goals  and  supporting  mission-specific  functions.  This  thesis demonstrates  a structured  approach  to  strategic  IS  planning  and  provides  a guide  for  developing  an  information  systems  architecture  to  support  the  organizational  goals  of  the  Office  of  Naval  Intelligence  (ONI).  By  first  examining  established  information  systems  planning  practices,  architectural  design  methodologies,  Department  of  Defense  (DoD)  guidelines,  and  published  ONI  organizational  objectives,  this  thesis  guides  the  reader  through  the  decision-making  process  involved  in  strategic  IS  planning.  The  methodology is  structured  on  guidance  provided  by  the  DoD's  Technical  Architecture  Framework  for  Information  Management  (TAFIM)  Standards-Based  Architecture  (SBA)  Planning  Guide.  This  thesis  demonstrates  the  validity  of  using  the  structured  architectural  approach,  presented  by  the  T AFIM  and  other  strategic  IS  planning  concepts,  in  concert  with  intelligence-specific  IS  planning  guidance  to  systematically address  the  issues,  problems,  and  critical  decisions  faced  by  organizations  attempting  the  strategic  IS  planning  process.
