IT Governance Solution

With ever-increasing regulations and public scrutiny, ensuring the value of IT investments is critical. Yet 20 percent of all IT investment is wasted each year. In most enterprises, IT has become an integral part of the business and is fundamental to growing the business. The seemingly unreachable goals of IT and business alignment have dominated board-room top ten lists for over a decade. Indeed, the ability of the enterprise to effectively bridge the gap between corporate business objectives and associated demands, with technology execution and supply constraints have been suspect at best.

The key to successful IT governance is the management of information. This means gaining visibility into all of the business demands being placed on IT and elevating performance through the effective use of resources - people, funding, assets and processes - to maximise business value.

The main questions facing the executive decision making stream are:

• Are the corporate objectives using available IT resources effectively?
• Which IT initiatives require the most attention?
• Which IT investments bring the greatest return?
• Is now the time to adjust our strategy to respond to changes?

The role of portfolio management in achieving business and IT alignment is becoming clearer. By bringing together a single view of supply and demand, in an intuitive and easy to use pragmatic interface, the organisation can create and evaluate the optimised and "do-able" portfolio of programmes that achieve the business and IT alignment goal.
