siliconindia | | May 20194With the world of business growing more IT-intensive, the complexities of IT seem to be increasing. Factors like the expansion of business models and processes calling for greater IT involvement, adoption of emerging technologies to drive business innovation, coordination with multiple business and technology partners across various geographies contribute to these increase complexities. Maximizing value from IT investments has always been imperative for businesses. It is not enough for these businesses to merely have IT systems that deliver strategic value to them. Instead, a mechanism in place to regulate, monitor, and govern the value creation efforts of the IT systems is highly required. The need for IT governance is felt to ensure that the IT systems are doing their assigned duty and that the objectives of the key people there are the same. Businesses have several reasons for implementing an IT Governance framework. As an organization considers IT projects, it is critical to align them with business strategies and business goals. Designing, implementing, communicating and maintaining an appropriate IT governance framework can be a complex project that requires specialist knowledge and the support of experienced practitioners. And this is exactly where the role of consultants comes in. These consultants work with businesses to establish clear frameworks, structures and processes for IT investment and management decisions including the use of key resources, systems and technologies through the management of internal and external relationships. In our current edition, we have featured a list of "10 Most Promising IT Governance Consultants".
