In this information age, everything has become faster and more dynamic. There is a lot of business competition at all levels and at the same time we have an unstable economy. For those reasons, today more than ever is necessary that organizations watch very close the performance of their IT Departments.
It does not matter what is your industry, if it is a private organization or if it is government, the resources provided by the IT Department, using the best technologies available in the market and an exceptional service level, will be able to support the organization to obtain its goals successfully.
It’s that time of year again when we are audited or given audit results of our last audit reviews conducted for 2011.
If you are in the preparation mode for being audited, this really means that an outside firm will conduct a formal written examination of key components of the organization. If audit results have already been provided, it is a good time to reassess, design and implement remediation plans.
One of the most common examinations conducted are Information Security Audits where the confidentiality, availability and integrity of an organization’s information is assured.
Today, most industries are challenged with increased costs and pressures as each strive to increase, or at least maintain, their competitive advantage in a very challenging marketplace. Strategies and solid actions to continuously improve the business are imperative in order to continue adding value and stay in business.
Today, there could be multiple approaches to "business or process improvement" that companies can choose from, but there are not so many that have proven benefits across multiple industries in this area.
