IT Value for
Business
Next
month the book, "THE BUSINESS VALUE OF
IT: Managing Risks,  Optimizing Performance, and
Measuring Results," by Michael D. S. Harris,
President and Owner of DCG, David Herron, Founder of
DCG, and Stasia Iwanicki, Managing Consultant, will
be released at the Software Engineering

experiences to explain how you can demonstrate IT's
value, and potentially find extra value you didn't know
your IT organization creates. They also show how
to apply risk management to process improvement and
avoid unintended consequences of process improvement
programs.
The
book is scheduled to be released at the SEPG
Conference, March 17-20 in Tampa, FL. The SEPG Conference
is the premier process improvement conference in the
Information Technology industry. Books will be available

DCG IT Value Webinar
Series:
What Should Business Expect from IT?
Thur, Feb. 21st, 1:30 - 3:00
pm.
Too often, IT projects and operations fail
because business expectations are unrealistically high
in terms of what can be achieved in a given time at a
given quality and budget. IT providers often
have unreasonably low expectations regarding the same.
What is lacking on both sides is a knowledge of what can
be realistically achieved by combining a clearly
prioritized set of business needs with well-established
IT industry best practices.
 This 60 minute
webinar, presented by DCG's Mike Harris, provides an
overview of COBIT, ITIL and CMMI, and explains how the
three can work together to help address these
issues.
