Information and related technology have become increasingly crucial in the
sustainability, growth and management of value and risk in most enterprises. As a
result, IT has moved from a support role to a central position within enterprises.
The enhanced role of IT for enterprise value creation and risk management has
been accompanied by an increased emphasis on the Governance and
Management of Enterprise IT (GEIT).
Enterprise stakeholders and the governing board wish to ensure that IT fulfills the
goals of the enterprise. GEIT is an integral part of overall corporate governance.
GEIT addresses the definition and implementation of processes, structures and
relational mechanisms within the enterprise that enable business and IT staff to
execute their responsibilities in support of creating or sustaining business value.
In this course you will learn and understand how to assess and evaluate an
organization’s GEIT and make sure that IT is properly aligned with the business
objectives.
COBIT 5 can help enterprises create optimal value from IT by maintaining a
balance between realizing benefits, optimizing risk management and leveraging
resources. The COBIT 5.0 addresses both business and IT functional areas and
provides a governance, management and operational framework for enterprises
of all sizes, whether commercial, not-for-profit or public sector.
