IT Governance
Main objective of IT Governance is to ensure the realization of company objectives and support strategic development through optimal IT application. IT Governance is a part of the company management and is to be viewed out of leading processes perspective.
Our solution offers a standardized practice-oriented procedure and implementation of already existing process leading systems. Pre-condition is the orientation by business and service processes. The objective is to create economic IT measurements and effective IT application to realize individual business objectives. Therewith, all standards and internationally accepted procedures (e.g. ITIL, CMMI, ISO/IEC etc) will be supported.
Benefit evaluation and IT value
Our systematic use of methodologies allows for a transparent evaluation of the real equivalent and of the benefits of the IT performance. Potentials that can be created through the IT investment or the IT project can be evaluated through extensive IT figures for economic calculation e.g. ROI or Total Cost of Ownership. The gained transparency allows for a solid basis for planning and decision-making as well as it enables an early interference through corrective measurements and the effective use of technologies, resources, knowledge and capital.
Transparency and basis for decision-making
Exact traceability about all relevant factors as well as their effects on effort, time and cost allows for an evaluation of planning at any point in time. Extensive simulations, analyses and benchmarking show growth and saving potentials along the value added chain. Therewith, the transparency creates a solid basis for decision-making and planning. It allows for early collective measures as well as the effective use of technologies, resources, knowledge and capital.
Planning security and risk minimization
Extensive risk, tolerance threshold and sensitive analyses are building the basis for the development of risk avoidance strategies. Moreover, complete monitoring over all phases, activities and roles guarantee for ongoing controlling of costs and time to successfully implement them into the budgeting. Transparency about effects and decisions before investment is an essential success factor to reduce IT, project and financial risks..
