Information Technology (IT) has become critical to the operations and competitiveness
of organisations around the world. Effectiveness management of IT is under the
spotlight because IT is typically among an organisation's top five expenditures,
yet research reveals that an average of 10 to 25% of a company's total IT spending
is wasted or used unwisely. In today's regulatory compliance environment, it's
no wonder senior executives have serious, valid concerns about the risks IT
poses in their organisations and the accountability of costs.
At PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) works we work with our clients to help them
align their IT resources with their business objectives and structure them to
minimise key business risks.
We assist organisations in managing IT as a business. We address problems in
organisations where IT is seen as a constraint on the business or where the
reputation of IT is held in low regard. We also help forward looking IT organisations
to adopt leading practices in IT management, quality assurance and IT governance.
We meet our clients’ issues by delivering insight based on comparative
evidence and fresh, compelling options for structuring IT and taking advantage
of technology.

and with suppliers. We also work with our clients to improve the fit of services
