download presentation in pdf (1.85 MB)

In 2010, IITS adopted an IT governance framework that defines the key areas necessary to support SMU's vision, mission and goals. This framework is grounded on industry best practices such as CobiT,
ITIL and ISO, etc. In execution, the framework helps SMU's stakeholders come together systematically to determine the roles for IT in teaching, research, outreach and management.

In 2012, 15 IT governance projects were identified to help meet IITS's mission. These projects are categorised in the areas of Project Management and Systems Development, IT Service Management
and IT Risk Management and to be implemented in two years.

SMU will share our journey in the implementation of IT Governance, challenges, lessons learnt and benefits. Brief examples will be drawn from two projects; namely, assessing and managing IT risks and managing service desk and incidents.
