Control of Risk through Change Process and Distribution Management
Business Challenge
As businesses continue to depend on IT for day-to-day activities, there is increasing demand for the IT infrastructure to be both stable and secure. Today’s increasing regulatory requirements are also demanding this. However, stability must be achieved in conjunction with a world of increasing IT complexity and without hampering the ongoing developments of both business strategy and technology innovation. As a result, achieving IT-business alignment may seem like an elusive target.
Business Value
