Businesses are facing increased risk and compliance demands related to Information Technology (IT) - from investment decisions, standardization of infrastructure and services, automation / business transformation initiatives, to a shortage of skilled resources.
IT is an integral part of any organization and plays a vital role in both private and public organisations.
