Is "classical" governance over ?

The way we do IT today has dramatically evolved from just a decade ago

Trends like cloud computing and automation question the traditional role of the CIO and classic ITSM practices. While agility and lean governance have become buzzwords, the challenge is to align innovation with risk management and regulatory requirements. Beneficis supports organizations in this transition, ensuring Strategic IT Planning stays focused on business value and adaptability while promoting quicker, leaner systems that meet both customer expectations and enterprise standards.

It’s very tempting to access the power of cloud computing and avoid the hassle of IT management around it. But we could be underestimating the risks associated with confidential company data. What about the way we develop information systems? Agility is another extreme compared to V-cycles. Both have their advantages and disadvantages.

At the end of the day, we’re often faced with organizations that are disrupted because they’re pushed to move in an agile way but don’t know how to go about it. People expect their information systems to evolve more quickly, more easily and add more value to the business at the same time.

Due to the need to master this complexity, to do the right moves, but also to move on good manner, we see it still makes sense to have a methodic and governed approach to manage the information systems.

Organizations must adopt a methodical, governed, and value-driven approach to manage increasing system complexity effectively. IT Governance Consultants from Beneficis offer guidance grounded in COBIT best practices and common-sense governance. While tools change, principles endure, strategic alignment of information systems with business goals is still key to success. Beneficis enables companies to modernize while retaining control.
