Welcome to Infonomics

Plain Language about IT Governance

for executives and directors.

5 September. The Victorian Branch of the ACS today released the report from its August 2006 Symposium: "Where will ICT be in 2011". The aim of the Symposium was to assist businesses, governments and delegates to plan for the ICT paradigm that may exist in 2011. Issues such as Australia's ICT infrastructure needs, supposed skills shortages, ageing population, insourcing, outsourcing, technology and ICT governance were discussed. All these and more were analysed by workshop teams and a consolidated report produced.

This report is now available to download at: https://www.acs.org.au/vic/documents/ACSSymposiumReport.pdf.

4 September. The August 2006 edition of the IT Governance Letter breaks cover. Australian Pharmaceutical Industries provides a salutary lesson for directors on the importance of their oversight when major IT investments are undertaken.

25 July. The July 2006 edition of the IT Governance Letter is posted to 900 subscribers around the world.

Infonomics in a Nutshell

Infonomics helps senior executives (both business and IT) and Directors protect themselves against the likelihood that problems with IT projects and operations will cause damage to the organisation’s business performance and expose them to individual risk of damaged reputation or more serious legal consequences.

Infonomics uses specialist expertise in top-level governance of IT to help organisations reduce risk and maximise the value of their investments in information and communication technology. We:

Help the organisation’s most senior personnel confirm that IT is being used appropriately, that IT investments are on track and delivering to expectation and that IT operations are well matched to business needs;
Show organisations how to ensure that all their IT activities are effective, efficient and acceptable;
Detect things that are going wrong;
Guide corrective action before valuable resources are wasted and before damage is done to performance and reputation;
Coach individuals who need to become more effective in dealing with IT matters at the top executive and Board levels.

For organisations that have recognised the importance of IT as a fundamental business resource that should be governed effectively, Infonomics provides support in respect of baselining current practice and performance, developing and implementing governance models, and supporting individuals as they operate within the new models, and assessing the results of the change.

IT Governance - what the heck is that all about? Suddenly, IT Governance is flavour of the year - everybody's selling it, and the market is rightly confused. Just what is IT Governance all about?

To help you understand, Infonomics has launched a series of Executive Briefing papers. Written in plain language, these papers are designed to inform everybody from the Chairman to the Chief Information Officer, as well as senior managers, about aspects of this very important aspect of Corporate Governance.
