BUSINESS TECHNOLOGY EFFECTIVENESS^® GOVERNANCE

Runaway projects and costs… IT ‘investments’ that result in no value-add to the organization… Limited visibility or understanding of IT expenditures… Questioning the value of IT….

The issues above are all too common within many organizations. Yet effective businesses spend less than their peers on technology and generate greater value. How does that happen? It requires visibility, focused management, and effective execution.

As a core component of AGSI’s Business Technology Effectiveness^® (BTE) Framework, Governance provides the executive sponsorship, budgeting and decision making required to control IT service delivery and oversee technology-based investments while ensuring compliance with external regulations and internal policies. IT Governance is an integral part of Enterprise Governance; as such, this responsibility rests with the executive management team, not the ‘IT folks’.

Focusing on two primary outcomes – delivery of value and management of risk – Governance provides the crucial link between business needs and functional solutions. And just as business strategy drives demands for IT initiatives, technological capabilities must serve as enablers for organizations to exploit new opportunities. Based on best practices and tailored for the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and Metrics which are core for your business, AGSI’s Governance Framework enables organizations to prioritize and manage these crucial investments.
