IT strategic planning towards realizing organizational is one of the most important topics among managers of leading companies. It is known as alignment of IT and business strategies. The alignment factors identified in Luftman model on IT-Business Alignment form the basis of the present study. Luftman model is comprised of five levels, each level consisting of six factors. A questionnaire was designed and distributed among managemers in Saipa Yadak in order to identify the impact of each alignment factor. Thereafter in order to measure the extent of IT-Business alignment, another questionnaire was devised to determine company’s current status. Finally a balanced alignment factor was calculated. Results indicate that Saipa Yadak is at the third alignment level according to Luftman model. This illustrates a stage of total focus. Tactics are offered for approaching the fourth level of alignment.
