Because IT is worth it [Strategy ROI]

Abstract

IT departments faced both good and bad news in 2007. The good news was that their budgets were on the rise. The bad news is that they have to work harder for the money, having lost more traction with the board. Too often the underdog in the enterprise pecking order, the IT function needs to get an image makeover so it can unleash its contribution to the bottom line. We are seeing very little discussion around turning risk management into topline benefits right now.
