Technology Policy, Architecture and Business Management

IT governing policy. Architecture guiding principles and standards. IT financial, contract and sourcing management.

Core TechnologyManagement Level 1 (M1)

Broad utility IT functions/systems. Infrastructure supporting install base and future systems. Scale oriented. Shared services (i.e. data centers, networks).

Process TechnologyManagement Level 2 (M2)

Business process enabling technologies. Efficiency and/or effectiveness oriented. Shared when appropriate. Decision-making highly integrated with business and operations (i.e. key applications systems).

Differentiating TechnologyManagement Level 3 (M3)

Leading edge use of technologies and information to support new products and markets, and to support breakthroughs in internal productivity. Not scale oriented. Proprietary. Pushes new policies, infrastructure and process orientations.
