IT Organization Design
IT investment, applications, and infrastructure are bifurcating into driving “scale factors” and delivering “information analytics”. As a result, the role of the technology function is following suit. The management of technology operations is becoming a distinct utility separate from the management of information and analytics. At the same time new control requirements are being placed on IT organizations. This is leading to intense management challenges to improve command of data, business requirements, and third parties. Implementing this change is becoming critical for CIO’s and business leaders who want to improve the management of technology services.

Financial service firms need to be able to measure the shareholder value gained from IT investments in order to make strategic decision with their IT portfolio. These investments need to managed with “mark-to-market” valuations and exit strategies. Applying a business lens on the role and impact of technology ensures IT investments are more explicitly aligned with the business.
