Software is at the heart of modern business, governments and societies, enabling information interchange never before imagined. To achieve this, software developments are ever larger and more complex - and correspondingly more technically challenging and difficult to manage.

At the same time, in the wake of corporate disasters such as Enron and Worldcom, Governments have introduced legislation ensuring accountability and accessibility to sensitive personal data:-

• The US Sarbanes Oxley Act places personal and criminal responsibility on boards to maintain effective systems
• The UK Financial Services and Markets Act, Freedom of Information Act, Safe Harbor Provisions, successive Finance Acts and the Data Protection Act create the dual challenges of complexity and transparency

Given this increasing complexity, it is perhaps not surprising that the 2004 Standish Group CHAOS Report found that only 34% of software projects are completed on time and on budget, 51% are over time, over budget and/or lacking critical features and requirements, and 15% were cancelled.

CEOs and CFOs faced with ever increasing IT expenditure, ever increasing personal liability, and ever increasing reliance on mission critical IT systems have brought IT Governance and Compliance to the heart of the boardroom table, and this is having an impact at all levels in organisations. Improvix possesses the expertise to support your organisation as you embark upon the journey from your current level of software process maturity and IT governance towards your aspired level, and we offer solutions tailored to your requirements and the level you are working at:-
