To ensure compliance with business objectives and the best possible support for business processes.

the strategic relevance of IT

In many businesses, the technology and software in use is actually obsolete or subpar. To ensure compliance with business objectives and the best possible support for business processes, it is therefore vital to take into account the strategic relevance of IT, which is commonly referred to as IT governance.

The primary objective of employing information technology in business contexts to deliver and support business processes is typically to create additional value by improving the efficiency and performance of operations. For some, the current circumstances make it impossible to realize a return on investment or even measure one, and neither the anticipated advantages nor the promised innovation are realized.

Businesses are now facing both new opportunities and risks as a result of the expanding usage of information technology in commercial settings. It becomes important to maintain a balance between introducing cutting-edge IT solutions and reducing the dangers involved. Mericass is cognizant of the need to stay current with technology and take advantage of the enormous opportunities presented by technological advancements, but we are also conscious of the hazards associated with doing so and the obligation on the part of the board to control those risks.

Mericass can assist you in identifying and managing the associated IT risks so you can achieve your financial objectives if you are experiencing rapid expansion, have extensive and sophisticated information systems, or are putting new technologies or outsourcing arrangements in place.

The following crucial elements are typically covered by an IT governance concept

Value creation with an emphasis on cost optimization
Value assessment of IT risk management (because it is in the context of IT assets, it should take disaster recovery and business continuity into account)
A strategic orientation with a business solution focus
Resource management, particularly for knowledge and IT infrastructure
