IT Governance: 3 key items
We begin another year, and that is the time when the companies already have, or are finalizing, planning for the coming months. Specifically for CIOs, with increasingly more responsibility in the evolution of business, it is time to review past results and invest in solving future challenges. It is time to review processes and correct their actions, or rather analyze the company’s IT governance. And even with a known term is important to know that over 70% of Brazilian companies have initial governance practices, but have no formal process structure mounted. This means that there is still much to evolve. Thinking about it, we list three important results that can be achieved when the company actually owns and operates a plan of IT Governance.
Resilience IT
Resiliency is the ability to recover from interruptions and at the same time minimizing the possibility of an event stop again given activity. Surveys show that 59% of companies in the Fortune 500 have approximately 1.6 hours of unplanned downtime during the week, generating an average annual cost of downtime of $ 46 million per company. To fix this problem the company can seek a technological solution to recover the fastest process possible and prevents it from happening again.
Cost Reduction
The ideal of IT governance is also eliminate redundant processes, avoiding the repetition of activities that waste time and money of the company. A governance solution will eliminate this type of operation, automate it and standardize their flow, and allows a continuous analysis of its development.
IT operations aligned to business

Ideally, the company has a solution for the measurement of KPIs of the business and IT operations in real time, thus ensuring a faster and assertive decision-making.
