                   Abstract
                   Support of strategic decisions on the development of enterprise by information technology
                   provides an opportunity to study in more detail each source of information and draw
                   conclusions. The main role is played by the completeness, timeliness and reliability of
                   information. There are high requirements for it. The clarity of the tasks, data analysis, efficiency
                   of processing the results depend on the qualifications of the staff and technologies used in the
                   enterprise. Strategic decisions reflect the interaction of the campaign and the external
                   environment. Therefore, the company needs to adapt to the external environment, which is
                   constantly changing.
