Description
Describing a set of clear business criteria which can be applied to guide future decisions related to data processing's role in the enterprise at-large, this volume offers a new and rational approach for the long-term funding and management of DP activities. In it, the author provides techniques which can be initiated by the DP group to improve the business outcomes of its activity and argues that these business outcomes are of greater value than improvements in the technical aspects of the DP function. The guide presents practical steps which can be taken by DP managers, VPs information services, directors of DP, CIOs, systems managers, team leaders, project managers, and product managers to perform DO routines successfully and cost-effectively.
