Traditionally, Information Technology has been seen as a simple means to support business operations. However, organizations of excellence currently understand that IT must play not only tactical and operational role but also a strategic one, enabling new models, products and business services ensuring organization’s leadership, growth and sustainability in the long term, even transforming their industries. In order to ensure value provided by IT to the business, it is therefore necessary to move from an IT paradigm as a collector and fulfillment of the “customers” requirements to an IT paradigm as a partner-collaborator and key facilitator in business solutions. To ensure this, establishing good governance and IT management is essential.
