Trend and future research

Successful IT management is not only the result of optimally designed IT governance, it is also based on the definition of processes, the selection of methods and tools, and the provision of information and training.

For more than 20 years, ITM has been successfully active in the field of architecture management consulting. As a member of the Open Group and partner of manufacturers, as well as due to the close cooperation with universities and the successful EAM projects in practice, ITM draws on scientific knowledge as well as practical experience.
