IT Governance, suggests using the COBIT 5® framework to align their IT department with their business goals.

BRUSSEL, BELGIUM, BENELUX, November 18, 2013 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Nowadays, where IT departments are asked to cut costs and justify expenses, it is becoming increasingly important for European organisations to align IT departments with strategic business goals.

IT Governance, the European IT governance, risk management and compliance experts, suggest using the COBIT 5® framework to bring numerous benefits to an organisation in terms of aligning their IT department with their business goals.

COBIT 5, a business framework for the governance and management of enterprise IT, enables organisations to challenge key issues that are identified on a day to day business basis.

In this instance, COBIT 5 not only provides integration with other standards and frameworks (such as ITIL® and ISO/IEC 27001), but it also helps members of staff to see how their work relates to the overall scope of governance and management.

COBIT does not replace other frameworks, but works as an umbrella that helps them to be compatible together. For instance, COBIT 5 is the structure on which ITIL can deliver additional benefits for the daily management of IT operations. Using this framework means helping information and technology departments to achieve strategic business goals.

European companies in particular appreciate the commercial and IT procedural benefits that the framework can bring. COBIT is an increasingly common and extensively used control framework for the management of IT and ensures that IT delivers value to the organisation through controlling the inputs and outputs of business processes.

IT Governance suggests both small and large organisations to download the free, updated COBIT 5 Briefing Paper which highlights the facts and benefits of implementing the framework, as well as how well it integrates with ITIL and ISO 27001.
