Effective use of IT in a company

It is no longer possible to get an 'easy' competitive advantage basing on IT. An effective use of IT means that we should invest in such IT projects which support our strategy and operational activities and that we should reduce funds on other IT initiatives. The aim that should be reached is an increased influence of IT on the improvement of company's achievements at the minimum costs of functioning of IT. The idea of IT Governance can be very helpful as it offers a systematized and overall approach to the effective use of IT in a company. IT Governance includes: strategic adaptation of IT, taking value from IT, effective use of IT resources, managing IT risk and measuring IT effectiveness.
