Business Cases for Digital Integration
A business case is what turns enthusiasm for a digital tool into a decision leaders can back. This technique shows how to structure one for automation or AI, and why subscription and roll-out costs must be built in from the start, not discovered later (HM Treasury, 2026a).
Technique Overview
Business Cases for Digital Integration Definition
A business case for digital integration is a structured document that sets out the problem an automation or AI investment will solve, the options considered, the expected benefits, the full cost of getting there and staying there, and the risks involved. Unlike a one-off purchase, most digital platforms are subscriptions: the business case must cover both the one-off roll-out cost and the ongoing annual cost of staying subscribed (Local Government Association, 2026; HM Treasury, 2026b).
