Business systems planning (BSP) is an IBM proprietary technique devised initially for IBM internal use; later, it was sold as a service to its customers in the mid-1970s. BSP offers a structured approach to IS planning via a number of fairly rigorously defined stages that lead from the identification of business processes to a definition of required data structures.
