IT Governance

Within the ranks of executive managers, there's a growing awareness of the strategic value of IT and the need for better IT governance. Strong IT governance requires companies to proactively manage IT's value, performance and risk in the context of overall business goals.

One of the key challenges of IT governance is the need to tie IT operations to higher-level business processes, a crucial step in measuring how well IT supports the business and manages IT-related risk. IT governance requires organizations to understand how IT resources support business processes and how the loss of IT resources could affect business results. To fully support executive management oversight, IT must generate performance metrics that are aligned with business objectives and that can be easily understood by businesspeople.
