IT Governance

Today’s overriding demand is for agility: the ability to keep many balls in the air at once and to react quickly to, or even anticipate, new business needs.
 
ICT faces tremendous pressure to deliver tangible and sustained value. Too many ICT initiatives have failed to deliver the bottom-line results companies had hoped for. Key for the CIO is to move away from the needs of the technology and focus instead on the needs of the stakeholders like customers, shareholders and internal stakeholders.
 
Most organisations that understand the need to achieve an effective foundation for execution, are seeking for advice and guidance. IT governance is one of the 3 disciplines that create an effective foundation for execution, together with the operating model and the enterprise architecture. By bringing these together, the foundations are set to bring the principles behind the Real Time Enterprise. Not only within reach of the organisation, but also to make the Real Time Enterprise measurable at the same time.
 
Telindus firmly believes in IT Governance because:
  • Studies show that companies having IT governance, have superior profits compared to the firms pursuing the same strategy but with poorer governance.
  • As ICT budgets are becoming more important, senior management is challenged to manage and control ICT to ensure that value is created.
  • Well designed IT Governance arrangements distribute ICT decision making to those responsible for outcomes.
  • New information technologies bombard enterprises with new business opportunities: a well-organised IT governance will have enough foresight to deal with these new opportunities.
  • IT governance will allow senior management to make the decisions that matter, as their bandwidth to take all ICT-decisions is limited. Carefully designed IT governance provides a clear, transparent ICT decisionmaking process that leads to consistent behaviour.
Telindus has built a massive experience when it comes to understanding business needs and delivering adequate capacity. Our consultants support the installation and continuous improvement of IT Governance mechanisms that can quickly become value generating and value-proven management tools.
