Self-Funding IT Governance: A Life Cycle Management Perspective

Regulatory Compliance has skyrocketed to the top issue for CEOs, COOs, CFOs and CIOs. However, the pressure is now on the CIOs to enable their management to certify, upon pain of fines and or jail, that their IT environment supports IT Corporate Governance. The key issue for CIOs today is how to accomplish this with or without supplemental Regulatory Compliance funding.

This white paper is designed to enable self-funding of IT Corporate Governance. The following will show opportunities for self-funding by focusing on 3 areas:
• Software quality and reuse
• Simplification of the Enterprise Life Cycle (alignment of Development, Operations and Business Life Cycles across the enterprise)
• Automation of tasks and Time-to-Market improvements

This way, CIOs can continue to “do more with less” with or without separate supplemental Regulatory Compliance funding.
