New Toolkit Makes I.T. Governance Implementation Simple, Quick and Cost-Effective
A new IT Governance Framework Toolkit provides everything an organisation needs to develop a best practice IT Governance regime, enabling the entire process to be achieved in-house and at less cost than a single day’s consultancy.
(PRWEB) September 29, 2006 -- IT Governance is spoken of as one of the most pressing responsibilities facing boards in the next five years. However, few organisations currently have the knowledge or skills to develop an appropriate response, driving many into undue reliance on costly outside advice. To address this issue, a new IT Governance Framework Toolkit provides everything an organisation needs to develop a best practice IT Governance regime, enabling the entire process to be achieved in-house and at less cost than a single day’s consultancy.
The IT Governance Framework Toolkit is designed to simplify and accelerate the development of an IT Governance framework. It has been created by Steve Moir, a highly experienced IT governance consultant, in collaboration with Alan Calder, best-selling author of ‘IT Governance: Guidelines for Directors’ and ‘IT Governance Today: a Practitioner's Handbook.’
On a single CD-ROM, the Toolkit provides the full means to understand, organise, adopt and monitor IT Governance practice. Its 98 separate documents include templates, guidelines, checklists, questionnaires, slide presentations, assessments and planning tools, all of which have been specifically designed for the purpose. In addition, each Toolkit includes electronic copies of both of the above books, which offer lucid and plain-English guidance on all key aspects of the process.
The Tookit is based upon the pioneering ‘Calder-Moir IT Governance Framework’, which provides the first end-to-end method for organising IT Governance throughout an organisation. It addresses the fragmented nature of current IT Governance practice by providing a complete, overarching process within which each business function’s differing IT Governance issues and tools can be located and integrated.
Alan Calder said, “IT Governance is no longer just ‘nice to have’ – it is something that shareholders, regulators and customers increasingly demand that an organisation has in place. It is therefore too important to farm out to outside advisers and this Toolkit provides the means to deliver it in-house and at very low cost.”
The IT Governance Framework Toolkit is published by IT Governance Limited and is priced at only £995.00, which includes a full online support service covering all aspects of the implementation process. To learn more and place an order, visit http://www.itgovernance.co.uk/products/519.
