ISO 38500, AS8015: Infonomics - Plain Language about Corporate Governance of IT.

Corporate Governance of Information Technology is the system by which an organisation's current and future use of IT is directed and controlled.

(AS8015 and ISO/IEC 38500)

What does this mean?

Infonomics helps organisations ensure that their current and future use of IT is effective, efficient and acceptable.

We do this by explaining, developing and improving governance of information technology and business change — the top level systems for controlling IT direction, investment and risk.

We help directors and senior officers understand their roles in governance of IT, communicate effectively on IT matters and appreciate their organisation's unique circumstances as they relate to the use of IT.

Every business depends on IT to some extent - and often a great deal.

When IT is governed well, as part of overall corporate governance, IT sustains operational performance and enhances strategic opportunity.

But when IT is not governed well, problems with IT can cause serious disruption in day to day operations, and can jeopardise future capability.

Now, International Standards such as ISO 38500 give new leadership to business leaders clear, straightforward guidance on how to reduce risk and enhance business performance of IT.
