In virtually every organisation, the relationship between IT and the business is complicated. On one hand, technology sits at the heart of business strategy as it is both a tool to achieve efficiency and an engine for growth. On the other hand, IT departments are a major cost centre. Good businesses recognise the value of well thought out and smartly targeted IT projects and are prepared to make the investment. Increasingly, however, there are many calls on sometimes scarce resources.</p> The smartest players are ensuring that projects not only address any technology replacement, and regulatory and market changes, but also deliver better client service and increased efficiency at the same time.
