IT Governance represents the overarching principles and processes that ensure the effective and efficient use of technology to achieve an organization’s business goals. IT Governance addresses two specific areas:
- Procedures to ensure the effective evaluation, selection, prioritization and funding of IT investments to maximize business benefit.
- Processes to ensure that the IT organization manages and operates in an efficient and compliant manner.
IT Governance determines that the business and IT are working towards common goals with structures in place to mitigate any deviations from the established plan. This may sound elementary but it is not as easy as it sounds. Constant diligence must be performed to manage and ensure the results of the IT organization meet the strategic business requirements.
As part of each technology project, Omni Sourcing performs a high-levelreviewof the established IT Governance Framework to determine proper alignment between business and technology. In addition, we perform IT Governance Reviews and make recommendations for areas for improvement in communications and standard operating procedures.
