Abstract: Business executives around the globe have recognised the significance of information technology (IT) and started adopting IT in their business processes. Firms always invest in adopting latest technologies in order to comply with the customer requirements despite of heavy investment companies are unable to avail optimum benefits from the underpinning technologies. Consequently IT does not support business the way it should have been and hence a misalignment between business and IT is created. In the current study various factors in a Saudi financial institution have been discussed and assessed that perturb alignments in both the entities. In the research study questionnaire approach has been used which is an effective tool to collect qualitative data. Finally, some recommendations have been suggested to bring business and IT into an alignment.
