Strategic IT-Management

CIOs and company leaders responsible for IT are in a paradox situation these days. After years of significant growth, IT spending has been reduced to a minimum, as companies look for bottom-line value delivered from IT.

CxOs understand how important IT is to their top line. However, in many cases they are eager to harvest the promised value from fresh IT projects but highly dissatisfied with their return on IT investment. Strategisches IT-Management (Strategic IT Management) - written by Dirk Buchta, Helmut Schulte-Croonenberg, and Marcus Eul - shows executives how to capture this IT investment value potential by taking a whole new perspective on IT. According to the authors, IT should no longer be considered as a mere expense factor but as a source of value creation for the company.

Endorsed by many leaders of Germany's IT community, including CIOs from HOCHTIEF, E.ON, Grüner Punkt, E-Plus, Readymix and even the managing director of Accenture Germany-this handbook presents a comprehensive and detailed approach to strategic IT.

The publication - published in 2004 - covers all relevant strategic issues, ranging from IT strategy and IT planning to IT performance measurement and IT controlling, as well as IT supply management. Examples from A.T. Kearney client projects illustrate each chapter, and checklists and concise approaches make this handbook a valuable reference book for the reader. This book is available in German language only.
