These top performers have custom designed IT governance for their strategies. Just as corporate governance aims to ensure quality decisions about all corporate assets, IT governance links IT decisions with company objectives and monitors performance and accountability. Based on a study of 250 enterprises worldwide, IT Governance shows how to design and implement a system of decision rights that will transform IT from an expense to a profitable investment. Zusammenfassung Argues that the real reason IT fails to deliver value is that companies have no formal system in place for guiding and monitoring IT decisions. This book shows that companies need IT governance systems to ensure that IT investments are made effectively.
