THE CHALLENGE OF BUSINESS/IT MISALIGNMENT: WHAT CAN BE DONE TO REALIZE BUSINESS VALUE FROM IT INVESTMENTS? In the current economy, questions have once again emerged about the business value of information technology. Corporate managers and auditors are scrutinizing IT expenditures and eliminating those that cannot demonstrate a full business value case. In many quarters, outsourcing is being viewed as a panacea for addressing the rift that exists in many companies between technology and business. Toigo Partners International was founded to help companies align IT investments with business processes. Our focus is on data management. Without it, there is no possibility of containing IT costs or demonstrating their positive impact on the bottom line of business profitability.

Toigo Partners International offers IT consumers a portfolio of services that can help them to better align their information technology with their business. These services include:

• Research and analysis services that are driven by the actual experience of consumers with technology, and not by vendor marketecture
• Consulting services based on our GRAIL methodology that can help clients build and execute business-savvy IT strategies
• Professional development and training programs to help you to keep up to date with the latest technology and to avoid deployment and administrative pitfalls
• Testing services to address gaps in the performance information provided by vendors and to validate product capabilities before you learn that the actual solution bears very little resemblance to the vendor brochure

All of these capabilities are supplemented by a customer portal, IT-Sense.org, where you can access all of our research documents, interact with peers, ask questions of our on-line experts, take on-line training and certification classes, and otherwise improve the foundational knowledge and skills you need to do your job.
