What is IT Governance?
Information Technology (IT) governance is the decision framework and processes that businesses and government agencies use to make investment decisions and drive business value. It enables senior management to make good investment decisions that helps individuals and organizations to manage information effectively and efficiently. The establishment of IT governance must include all concerned stakeholders, such as senior management, process owners, IT supplies, users and auditors.
The widespread availability of IT has dramatically changed the way businesses and government agencies acquire, transmit, process, store, retrieve, communicate and use information, profoundly affecting how firms operate and compete. However, successful implementation of governance is still elusive for many organizations.
Successful IT governance aligns information technology with an organization’s overall objectives to achieve the best possible benefits. Key benefits of IT Governance include, but are not limited to:
- Allows executive management and staff within your organization to set expectations, participate, communicate, and establish accountability
- Provides clarity between the business strategy and the IT strategy and initiatives
- Increases dependence on information technology and information security
