Governance (cont'd.)
Without the proper governance structures and processes in place, business
functions begin to freelance, satisfying their own requirements with
minimal or no IT support, often contrary
to the company direction. Company strategy can become misaligned and
people begin working on the wrong things. This can lead to internal conflict
and a chaotic environment resulting in a non-standard infrastructure with
poor operational maintainability. And in most cases, the organization suffers
from reduced quality on projects that are delivered.
At Transition Partners, we understand the benefits of properly managing IT resources and the importance of aligning IT with business strategy. We take a straightforward and common
sense approach to assessing your current practices and helping develop a governance framework that will enable business growth.
Our methodology for providing IT Governance consulting services has been refined and proven through numerous client engagements. Our experts, in cooperation with your staff, will execute an efficient process to assess and implement a comprehensive and effective governance process designed to serve your company’s specific needs.
An international airline company asked for ideas on how to best leverage Information Technology to support their future business direction and protect against spiraling business costs. Transition Partners implemented a Governance Process as the first major step to accomplishing these objectives. The Governance Process provided visibility into the Information Technology Department’s current and future activities through request and project management; tracked and reported on resource utilization and future availability; presented
requests for substantial funding in a consistent business case format that showed inclusive costs and resulting, trackable benefits; and strengthened vendor and contract management.
