IT Management

Design IT Governance, Risk, and Compliance and Manage your IT Resources.

Let us first share a recent client success to give you some idea of what you can do with Dragon1 in IT Management (change and operations).

An Insurance company approached us because they required an IT Management tool to create a new governance model and redesign their services consistently, based on the COBIT Reference Model and some IT GRC Models and they were in need to manage their IT resources with a CMDB Tool. They also wanted to communicate their new IT Governance, Risk, and Compliance Model to all employees en suppliers, using interactive visualizations with clickable/mouseover popups to provide background information on the new IT Governance model.

We provided them with Dragon1 to be used as an IT Management Tool and CMDB Tool which addressed their issue of redesigning IT services, IT products, and IT processes integrally and fundamentally and they could design their cloud computing enterprise architecture fundamentally.

Also, they could communicate their new IT concepts interactively and clickable to stakeholders. This gave them much more control over sending the message to the stakeholders and gaining their support than otherwise.

IT Management supports the business of the company with the right information systems, data, hardware, software, applications, networks, social media facilities, and data centers. IT Management also deals with the staff who are hired to maintain the IT resources.

Common Issues in IT Management

Common issues in IT Management are:

CREATE: Too few people organizations have the right tools for IT Governance, IT Risk, and IT Compliance
SHARE: IT Governance, IT Risk, and IT Compliance are not documented, communicated, and shared well enough throughout the organization. People don't know what is expected from them or don't know how IT Governance, IT Risk, and IT Compliance should or do take place
