Gauteng SPIN - The Assurance over the quality of IT projects
Emi from Quality Edge presented “The Assurance over the quality of IT projects”
Information Systems have moved from being merely used as enablers to being an integral part of the corporate strategy to support, sustain and grow the business. Not only is Information Technology (IT) an operational enabler for a company, it is an important strategic asset to create opportunities and to gain competitive advantage. Companies have made, and continue to make a significant investment in IT. The latest IT investments and developments bring about significant risks and should be well governed and controlled. For the first time, King III deals with IT governance in detail. In this new era of Corporate Governance, there is an acknowledgment that IT projects can easily get out of control and profoundly affect the performance of an organisation. The IT capability can no longer be treated as black box, therefore Quality Assurance (QA) of IT projects have become a necessity.
