The IT department must demonstrate it is listening, and the business units must show they’re making the effort to communicate their wants and needs.
This allows IT systems to find natural alignment with the business needs, rather than being force-fit from above.

Adopting cutting-edge tech, reducing costs and ensuring good governance are some of the many good reasons to adopt an ITSM strategy. But it is fundamentally designed to help align IT systems to what the business, not the IT department needs, says Gerhard Conradie, MD of Evolv Networks.
Neither anti-virus programs nor firewalls are effective at constantly blocking common attacks on the manufacturing industry, says Gerhard Conradie, MD of Evolv Networks.
