The increasing demands of compliance regulations, along with the need for better governance, are reshaping IT. The sheer number of compliance regulations in the market today, along with the certainty of new privacy and security regulations, mandate better control of IT operations. In addition, top management is increasingly unwilling to allow IT to function without better oversight and control.
Under growing pressure to control its processes and to provide better visibility, IT is turning to frameworks like ITIL and CobiT for guidance. In turn, IT is moving to service-oriented delivery models and to Service Portfolios themselves for the tools it needs to implement the best practices within those frameworks.
Mature companies are increasingly realizing that in order to control what IT provides, both for better governance and to meet compliance needs, it first must understand IT. Service Portfolios fill that need, helping IT operations offer reliable, cost-effective, visible, and predictable processes to the business.
