IT Strategy & IT Governance

Companies do not operate information technology as an end in itself but increasingly see and position their IT as an essential business enabler and a driver of innovation and digitalization. An adequate IT strategy, stringently derived from the corporate strategy, ensures the efficient use of resources and represents the guideline for all critical decisions regarding corporate IT. IT governance ensures that all elements interact sensibly and with a view to joint objectives. In addition, it ensures compliance with legal and regulatory requirements – in today‘s world, IT systems are part of the critical infrastructure.

A number of proven and mature frameworks are available today to guide companies in IT strategy and governance, from TOGAF and COBIT to ITIL and the various ISO standards (for example, for information security and data protection). However, few simple recipes exist for practical application in companies' complex and dynamic reality. Our consulting expertise is based on many years of practical experience, which makes all the difference.
