This document presents a pattern for translating a business strategy into a technology strategy. It uses ING, a Dutch banking group, as a case study. The pattern involves extracting keywords from the business strategy, extrapolating technology themes from those keywords, and mapping capabilities to the themes to develop a technology investment strategy. This allows the technology strategy to have traceability to the business goals and drives the organization forward at the least cost. The capabilities are split into buckets to help manage ICT budgets. Executing the technology strategy and keeping existing systems running enables the business to continue functioning as new technologies are adopted.
