IT controlling is established as a tool for controlling information
technology. The job description of the IT controller has changed only
moderately over a long period of time. It was mainly associated with IT
budgeting, IT portfolio management, IT cost planning, accounting and
controlling. However, digitalization has brought movement in goals,
contents and methods. New topics such as digital strategy management,
cloud controlling, data science, etc. are being discussed. The task
profile is changing away from pure IT cost analysis to the management of
the digitization strategy with a focus on strategic IT portfolio
management. Some voices are already talking about "smart controlling" or
"digital controlling".
This book presents an IT controlling concept for the digital age and
explains the relevant methods in a practical way.
