About this course
Businesses are investing heavily in IT. In the Information Security / IT Management course, we will discuss how to manage IT so that IT investments contribute to the achievement of the organization’s goals and strategies.
Businesses must formally evaluate major IT investments. Investing in IT also carries risks, so companies should consider the risk associated with the investment to properly evaluate the investment. Let’s discuss how to evaluate your investment in IT.
Companies typically make multiple IT investments during the year. In this course, we will discuss how to value an IT investment portfolio. Businesses need a mechanism to charge users for IT investments to incentivize smart consumption of IT resources. We will discuss various IT charging mechanisms that encourage users to spend their money on IT wisely.
Finally, IT investments are aimed at creating value for the company. This requires that employees actually use the new IT systems that are being developed. As such, in the Information Security / IT Management course, we will discuss strategies to ensure that users are using the new system so that the business can benefit from their investment in IT.
