CIO Wisdom: Best Practices from Silicon Valley

In CIO Wisdom: Best Practices from Silicon Valley, 17 of today's most successful CIOs share real solutions for leading IT in an era of accelerating demands and declining resources. Here are proven techniques for enhancing IT's business value, planning, outsourcing strategies, managing partner relationships, deploying "extended enterprise" initiatives, implementing the right metrics, budgeting limited resources, and much more. If you're an IT leader-or plan to be one-you won't find a more indispensable book.

Managing IT As An Investment: Partnering for Success

Respected CIO Ken Moskowitz and top IT consultant Harris Kern offer a complete action plan for managing technology as a strategic asset, partnering with the business, building a culture based on shared values, nurturing individuals to new levels of productivity and satisfaction, creating exceptional value - and being recognized for it throughout an organization.

IT Professional Bundle

Ideal for those responsible for creating and managing IT infrastructures, this bundle contains all four of these leading titles:

IT Architecture Toolkit

In today's business environment, every enterprise needs a carefully planned IT architecture--but most approaches to developing and implementing architecture are far too complex and theoretical. IT Architecture Toolkit offers a practical, simple, rapid, and complete approach to getting the job done. Proven in the world's largest enterprises, it covers every step of the process, and every key output. Discover how to create strong, auditable links with business drivers; model your architecture; translate models to real projects; and manage your entire initiative. Using Jane Carbone's exercises, methods, and examples, you'll construct a complete draft architecture for your own business: one that can handle anything that comes your way.

IT Production Services: Building a Competitive Advantage

The best enterprise IT organizations have discovered the secret to high-performance infrastructure management: build a true Production Services function and realistic Production Acceptance processes. By doing so, they’ve achieved outstanding reliability, availability, and serviceability... transforming themselves from overpriced support centers into world-class service providers. IT Production Services: Building a Competitive Advantage shows you how to do it, too. Drawing on data compiled from 200+ enterprise IT assessments, it’s your start-to-finish guide for effective IT infrastructure management in business-critical environments.

IT Systems Management: Designing, Implementing, and Managing World-Class Infrastructures

IT Systems Management: Designing, Implementing, and Managing World-Class Infrastructures explains the relatively new study of the theoretical and practical aspects of managing an organization's IT infrastructure. Focusing on the key areas of people, process, and technology, author Rich Schiesser shows how systems management techniques can streamline the IT infrastructure so that it is optimally stable, efficient, and responsive.

IT Services: Costs, Metrics, Benchmarking and Marketing

IT Services: Costs, Metrics, Benchmarking and Marketing is the first 100% customer-focused guide to satisfying the consumers of your company's IT services — and building the loyalty your IT organization needs. In this book, three leading IT professionals present a fully integrated, comprehensive approach to service delivery in today's global, distributed environments. You'll discover how to establish processes, service and cost models, performance measurements, and "stretch" goals that achieve clear business benefits-and then transform those goals into reality.
