IT effectiveness

How to manage IT as a business*

As information technology (IT) continues to play a bigger and more visible role in driving business success and shareholder value, senior executives are under pressure to clearly demonstrate the business value of IT, and to prove that IT investments can generate a positive return while supporting business objectives.

In order for organizations to continuously improve IT performance, IT must be managed with all the processes, controls and financial rigor of any other business function. This includes applying the business disciplines of planning, development and measurement to the practical execution of an IT strategy.
