IT Investment: Making a Business Case (Computer Weekly Professional Ser.)
by Dan Remenyi Michael Sherwood-SmithFrequently not enough attention is given to producing a comprehensive business case or to producing an economic justification for an information systems investment. In fact many organizations are not clear as to what constitutes a sound business case and how to go about producing one. This Professional level book for the Computer Weekly Professional Series will show how to go about justification for I.T. spend. This book is designed for all those who are involved in the decision to invest in information systems. This book is especially relevant to senior business executives, senior financial managers and IT executives. Business consultants, computer and corporate advisors will also find the ideas and material addressed in this text of particular benefit as will anyone involved in corporate and strategic planning.In addition, senior students such as those working towards their MBAs will find this book of use.A business case is a statement or a series of statements that demonstrate the economic value of a particular intervention, a course of action or a specific investment. A business case is not simply a financial forecast of the hardware and software costs and the expected benefits. A business case for an information systems investment involves a comprehensive understanding of both the likely resources as well as the business drivers which will assist business managers improve their performance and thereby obtain a stream of benefits from the investment.In general there are approximately six steps in producing a business case for an information systems investment.1. Determine the high-level business outcomes that will be clearly and comprehensively expressed as a set of opportunities the organization can take advantage of, or problems that need to be rectified.2. Identify the corporate critical success factors that will be supported or enhanced by the operation of the completed information systems project or investment.3. Create a list of specific and detailed outcomes or benefits, their appropriate metrics, measuring methods and responsibility points that are represented by the stakeholders.4. Quantify the contribution made by the outcomes, which requires associating numbers or benefit values with outcomes where this is possible.5. Highlight the risks associated with the project.Fundamental to this new approach to developing a business case for information systems investment is the fact that it incorporates much more than the financial numbers which are typically found in the standard approach to a feasibility study. This approach looks behind the financial numbers to the improvements in business performance which are facilitated by information systems and which are the real drivers of the benefits. Furthermore, this approach to developing a business case allows the organization to manage the process so that the required results are achieved.

IT Management in the Digital Age: A Roadmap For The It Department Of The Future (Management for Professionals)
by Nils Urbach Frederik AhlemannThis book examines the massive changes currently taking place in the business world and commonly known under the label “digitalization.” In addition, it describes the significant impacts of technological innovations on processes, products, services and business models. The digital transformation resulting from these developments leads to disruption for many enterprises and industries. While for many years, IT departments mainly concentrated on fulfilling the requirements of business departments effectively and efficiently by means of high-quality IT services and operations, today’s IT departments are increasingly expected to actively co-design and co-create the enterprise. This book describes how information technology enables innovation for businesses, and how IT departments can proactively and in a timely manner collaborate with the business departments of their corporation to leverage these innovations. It also delineates the implications of digitalization for the structures, processes and people in today’s IT departments. IT leaders and managers who are responsible for corporate IT, as well as practice-oriented researchers, will find valuable inspirations and guidance in this book, the central mission of which is to encourage and enable a more proactive role for IT in the digital transformation processes."This book demonstrates the impact of digital transformation on IT organizations and their management. It also presents potential risks for technology availability, security and data protection. The authors develop a vision of what IT management should look like in ten years if it is to continue playing an important role in the company. The book seeks to motivate IT executives and managers with IT responsibility to actively adapt their thinking and their IT organizations before they are forced to react to external pressure. Definitely worth reading!" Sven Kreimendahl, Director Business Technology Services, Campana & Schott
IT-Operations in der Transformation: Zukunftsweisende IT-Betriebsmodelle zwischen „Hey Joe“ und „NoOps“ (Edition HMD)
by Hans-Peter Fröschle Ralf Oestereich Nikolaus SchmidtDie zunehmende Digitalisierung aller Lebensbereiche bedeutet für die Unternehmen, dass die IT sich mehr und mehr von einer betrieblichen Unterstützungsfunktion zu einem zentralen Wertschöpfungsprozess wandelt. Damit ist es erforderlich, dass die IT nach ähnlichen Prinzipien wie die Kernprozesse der Unternehmen funktioniert. Neben den bisherigen Anforderungen nach Stabilität, Sicherheit, kostenoptimaler und zuverlässiger Betrieb wird eine hohe Innovationsfähigkeit und hohe Veränderungsgeschwindigkeit vorausgesetzt.Die Konsequenzen sind bereits heute in vielen IT-Organisationen sichtbar:Innovative Anwendungen künstlicher Intelligenz bzw. selbstlernender Systeme werden als Enabler für Automatisierung eingesetzt.Agile Vorgehensweisen aus der Softwareentwicklung finden Einzug im IT-Projektmanagement, IT-Betrieb und Support. Zur Gewährleistung von IT-Qualität und Anpassungsgeschwindigkeit werden bisherige Bereichsgrenzen in Frage gestellt. So werden in vielen IT-Organisationen mit DevOps die Abteilungsgrenzen zwischen Entwicklung (Dev) und Betrieb (Ops) überwunden.Herkömmlich Architekturen und Betriebsmodelle werden durch Cloud-basierte Lösungen ersetzt. Damit verbunden sind aufbau- und ablauforganisatorischen Regelungen zur Bereitstellung und Verwaltung von Cloud-Lösungen und -Services. Während die Bedeutung eines hochverfügbaren, flexiblen IT-Betriebs damit steigt, verändern sich deren Aufgaben und Verantwortung grundlegend: Der eigentliche Betrieb der IT rückt in den Hintergrund Gefordert ist eine Steuerung der Anbieter und Partner in einem Multi-Sourcing-Umfeld.Vor diesem Hintergrund stellt sich auch die Frage, inwieweit etablierte Entwicklungs- und Betriebs-Frameworks für die Bewältigung der Anforderungen genutzt werden können.
IT Outsourcing Contracts: A Legal and Practical Guide
by Jimmy DesaiThis book provides an overview of the IT outsourcing relationshipand life cycle. The process begins with an organizationconsidering whether or not IT outsourcing would be of benefit andthen the issues which would need to be considered in order toanswer this question accurately are discussed. If an organizationbelieves that an IT outsourcing deal could be of benefit, it willthen need to choose a suitable supplier to perform its IToutsourcing. The issues to consider regarding an IT supplier arealso set out in this book. Having selected an IT supplier, anorganization will then need to agree key terms (includingidentifying and agreeing any contentious issues which are so-called deal breakers). Agreeing the IT outsourcing contract isnot the end but the start of the IT outsourcing relationship andthis relationship will need to be managed and developed over thecourse of the contract. Sooner or later the IT outsourcingarrangement will have to come to an end and so an exit plan willneed to be formulated and implemented. This life cycle needs tobe fully understood by anyone involved in this kind of IToutsourcing transaction and this book provides useful informationabout this life cycle.
IT Performance Management
by Peter Wiggers Maritha de Boer-de Wit Henk KokIT Performance Management addresses the way organizations should balance the demand and the supply of information technology, optimizing the cost and maximizing the business value of IT.In this book several aspects of IT performance management are described. The way this management is executed and the techniques, which should be used, depend on the maturity of the relationship between the IT function and the lines of business of an organization. The foundation of the authors' approach is based on the flow of money and related management objectives. However, performance management is primarily based on perceptions. Therefore, this book introduces the IT value perception model. This model describes four separate levels of perception for the business value of IT. If the demand and the supply of IT do not share the same perception level, the balance is lost, which will lead to friction and inefficiency within an organization. This book is not about what is good or what is bad, but rather is about the 'what', the 'why' and to a limited extent the 'how' of managing the performance of IT. Therefore, the book finishes with a 'back-to-business' section in which a self-assessment checklist, a potential growth path and ten next steps are provided. This enables the reader to start applying this book in his every day working environment immediately. IT Performance Management: * Provides an overview of best practices and available thinking on the subject of IT cost and value* Describes the subject of IT cost and value related to management issues on IT strategy, portfolio management, service management, architecture and sourcing * Addresses differing degrees of maturity between IT and the business, illustrated by case studies

IT Project Health Checks: Driving Successful Implementation and Multiples of Business Value
by Sanjiv PurbaProject or program health checks provide tremendous value to businesses and pay for themselves by multiples of magnitude. No matter how well a project or program is performing, there are always activities that can provide better value, reduce costs, or introduce more innovation. IT project and program health checks can help organizations reach their goals and dramatically improve Return on Investment (ROI). IT Project Health Checks: Driving Successful Implementation and Multiples of Business Value offers a proven approach for evaluating IT projects or programs in order to determine how they are performing and how the eventual outcome for the initiative is currently trending. The project or program health checks provide a set of techniques that produce actionable recommendations that can be applied for any combination of the following outcomes: Drive more business and technical value from a program Set a project or program back on track for successful implementation as defined by executive management Rescue a program that is heading towards failure Act as additional insurance for initiatives that are too important to fail Protect executive careers by creating transparency within the inner workings of complex initiatives. The book shows how a review can quickly identify whether an initiative needs to be rescued even when the project team is not aware that it is hurtling towards failure. It also provides techniques for driving business value even when a project team believes it’s been stretched as much as possible. Other outcomes covered in this book include: Objectively develop a project Health-Check Scorecard that establishes how well a project is doing and the direction it is headed Demonstrate how to drive business value from an IT program regardless of how well or badly it is tracking Provide surgical advice to improve a project’s outcome How to use the many templates and sample deliverables to get a quick start on your own health check.

IT Project Management: A Geek's Guide to Leadership (Best Practices in Portfolio, Program, and Project Management)
by Byron A. LoveThis book’s author, Byron Love, admits proudly to being an IT geek. However, he had found that being an IT geek was limiting his career path and his effectiveness. During a career of more than 31 years, he has made the transition from geek to geek leader. He hopes this book helps other geeks do the same. This book addresses leadership issues in the IT industry to help IT practitioners lead from the lowest level. Unlike other leadership books that provide a one-size-fits-all approach to leadership, this book focuses on the unique challenges that IT practitioners face. IT project managers may manage processes and technologies, but people must be led. The IT industry attracts people who think in logical ways—analytical types who have a propensity to place more emphasis on tasks and technology than on people. This has led to leadership challenges such as poor communication, poor relationship management, and poor stakeholder engagement. Critical IT projects and programs have failed because IT leaders neglect the people component of "people, process, and technology." Communications skills are key to leadership. This book features an in-depth discussion of the communications cycle and emotional intelligence, providing geek leaders with tools to improve their understanding of others and to help others understand them. To transform a geek into a geek leader, this book also discusses: Self-leadership skills so geek leaders know how to lead others by leading themselves first Followership and how to cultivate it among team members How a geek leader’s ability to navigate disparate social styles leads to greater credibility and influence Integrating leadership into project management processes The book concludes with a case study to show how to put leadership principles and practices into action and how an IT geek can transform into an effective IT geek leader.

IT Quality Management
by Wolfgang W. OsterhageIn a comprehensive approach this book covers the end-to-end process from request management to change management, error management and migration management to acceptance testing and final data clean up. It is based upon nearly twenty years of experience in tests, acceptance and certification, when introducing medium to large IT systems including complex software for administrations and industry in many countries. There exist a variety of methodologies with different characteristics having emanated from various schools and consultancies to support such activities. However, it is obvious that because of the diversity in organisational levels in companies the rigor of application of such methodologies quite often suffers with regard to more pragmatic approaches. In view of economic considerations this may be unavoidable. For this reason no new or consolidated methodology shall be presented but an approach oriented on practical criteria coming closer to reality and offering methods, which can provide assistance on a case-by-case basis.
IT Regulatory Compliance in North America: A Pocket Guide
by Alan CalderThis pocket guide provides initial guidance to all who are concerned with IT regulatory compliance in North America. A key challenge for all IT executive teams is to ensure that the organization avoids breaches of any criminal or civil law, as well as any statutory, regulatory or contractual obligations, and of any security requirements. Control A.15.1.1 of ISO/IEC27001:2005 (the best-practice information security management standard) provides guidance that is relevant to the IT governance of every organization. It says that the organization should explicitly define and document the statutory, regulatory and contractual requirements for each of its information systems, and that this documentation should be kept up-to-date to reflect any relevant changes in the legal environment. The specific controls and individual responsibilities to meet these requirements should be similarly documented and kept up-to-date, and should be linked to the list of all the data assets and processes in the organization, together with their ownership details.
