IT Effectiveness

Information Technology (IT) is a key enabler of revenue and profit generation - but the performance of IT is often scrutinised as a drain on the profits it helps create. There is constant pressure for IT to perform and be cost effective. In order for organisations to continuously improve IT performance, IT must be managed with the same controls and rigour as any successful business. It must be aligned with underlying profit drivers and business strategy.

PwC provides practical advice to senior executives on how to improve IT effectiveness by using a combination of our technology, industry and financial knowledge coupled with our global perspective and expertise. We help you align, position and change your existing IT business as well as source and manage additional services to enhance your current capability.
