Cegal takes the temperature on your IT Governance

As an IT manager, you have probably experiences the challenge involved in developing and managing cost-effective,  secure and flexible IT solutions in parallel with rapidly changing needs and which underpins the company's strategy and business goals. Read more about how you can find a good balance for your business here.

The challenge in a nutshell

The requirements for functionality, performance and availability increase as the areas of application and requirements for automation grow. The mix, and thus the complexity, of different technical solutions or actually generations of different technical solutions is increasing. The threat picture, eg. the risk of business interruptions increases at the same rate as IT systems become business-critical. The number of regulatory requirements is increasing and becoming increasingly specific. The result of this also means that the job of keeping IT Management at the right level in your company is becoming increasingly demanding.

Opportunities

New business models and the range of new IT solutions and services at all levels - from infrastructure to applications - have never been greater. Only your imagination and wallet sets the limits for what can be achieved.

In light of the above, Cegal has produced a «map and compass» to make it easier to navigate and prioritize on the ever-changing IT landscape. We call it "IT Health Check".

IT Health Check is an analysis of IT Management, governance and processes, to identify opportunities for improvement. With a good idea of the current state of the business, you can work more focused to achieve the goals.

In our opinion, no two organizations are the same in terms of maturity, organizational structure and processes with associated IT solutions and architecture. Therefore, priorities may also differ between organizations that seem to have similar activities. Our model is based on this fact and we therefore use your competence and knowledge with our combined experience from many customer projects in different industries to do this screening. IT Health Check can be done on repeated occasions to measure changes/improvements.

The different steps

1. With the goal of creating an IT environment that enables secure, uninterrupted operations while achieving maximum value and flexibility, we need to establish the current situation, ie where are we now? IT Health Check helps us answer that question with the help of a standardized maturity analysis.
   
   
2. After completing the analysis, we create a report that provides an overview of your current IT Governance maturity. The focus is on how the result fits in relation to your goals and your organizational context. The report also contains our recommendation on prioritized improvement initiatives to move the business towards the strategic goal for IT Governance.
   
   
3. After introducing the prioritized improvements, it's time to evaluate the outcome. What is the next change/investment to be made? Do we create maximum value for stakeholders? Has our world and our goals changed? Evaluate and run the next iteration!
