This book came into being inthe form oflecture notes for thesubject Infor- tion technology management (IT management) at the Twente University inthe Netherlands. Since 1995 this subject is part of the Master s degree of the course Business Management and Information Technology. Over a decade of teaching, this bookdevelopedinto what it istoday. The book gives an idea of how organizations should organize their - formationandcommunicationtechnologyfacilitiesinordertobeabletosay IT does not matter. Management and the organization of IT are only conveniences within day-to-day operations and enablers, for organizations that want to supply other products and services. The book has the following starting points: (a) The IT support of products and services of organizations makes fu- tional and performance demandsontheIT facilities. In order to beable tomeettheserequirementsoptimally,anITarchitectureisrequired.The IT services and products are supplied within this architecture. (b) Controlling IT is part of normal operational management. This means that: at setting up the IT facilities the principles of logistics and operations management apply; the information, neededfor controlling a process, makes demandson the set-up of the information service process. The question is: whether someone is authorized to supplythe data; whether the data correspondswith thephysically present objects and whether the given data is correct and complete. (c) A distinction is made between both the IT demand and the IT supply organization. Both organizations have to be set up. Methods indicate, xi xii Preface which processes have to be in place in these organizations and each of these processes has ?nancial, personnel, legal and security aspects.
The book consists of five parts. In the first part, IT management tasks and the objects involved are discussed. The execution of these tasks has to meet functional and performance demands which are more easily met when an organization has a transparent IT architecture.
The second part outlines traditional IT management. The starting point is a process-oriented functioning of the IT organization. This goes for both the IT demand organization as well as the IT supply organization. In this part, methods like BISML, ASL, ITIL, MOF, MSF, TMN and eTOM are discussed.
The third part deals with controlling IT. Control is different when striving for efficiency and complying with accountants' requirements, compared to control when IT is a means to comply with customers' and/or chain partners' wishes. In the latter case, innovation of IT processes is an issue.
Part four tackles, amongst other things, financial, personnel, purchasing, legal and security aspects in IT. Besides this, attention is paid to entering service agreements and achieving standardization. The book ends with a look to the future. The effects of striving for "utility computing" and better control of IT by means of "IT portfolio management" are explained.
