The need for compliance, business and IT alignment, a better return on IT investments, stronger security, privacy and risk management, and more successful project execution are all driving business and IT executives to place a high priority on IT governance. IT involves huge costs and significant risks, but it also offers tremendous value to the business and is critical to an organization’s survival. Companies rely on IT for competitive advantage and are increasingly viewing IT governance as a key component of corporate governance.
