IT Governance continues to feature highly on the agenda within many organisations as Corporate Governance increasingly realises that IT touches every area of the organisation and contributes as an essential enabler of future business opportunities.

Various IT Governance definitions exist within the industry but all share the same common goal of establishing a structure of relationships and processes to ensure:

• IT aligns with the business strategy
• IT risks and opportunities are managed
• IT delivers value for money

No single correct implementation method or one-stop-shop solution for effective IT Governance exists as this will depend on the company type, culture, and on the drivers for governance. Although simply definable at high level, the practicalities of implementing IT Governance are broad and encompass many disciplines within the organisation including IT Strategy, Risk Management, IT Service Management and Compliance Management to name but a few. Understandably this presents a significant challenge for companies seeking to identify a starting point for their IT Governance initiative.

Fortunately best practice governance guidelines and procedures do exist within the industry and this is where the full expertise and experience of Fox IT can be brought to bear. Fox IT has developed a comprehensive IT Governance service covering education, assessment and implementation, foxGOV™.
