Your company.  Your investment.  Your risk.

While information technology departments or divisions often function at the core of an organization's day to day operations, they can no longer operate autonomously.  Traditionally, technology decisions were made in a vacuum by technology professionals, lacking governance and input by key stakeholders in the organization. 

Companies simply can no longer afford that risk.

IT Governance

Not too many years ago, organizations measured their IT performance by the "uptime" of their servers.  Today companies are affected by the emergence of compliance issues such as Sarbanes-Oxley or the simple realization that a project out of control can adversely affect their operations. According to the IT Governance Institute, IT Governance can be further defined as "..the leadership and organizational structures and processes that ensure that the organization's IT sustains and extends the organization's strategies and objects."

At Loricca, we understand that the road to true IT Governance requires the acknowledgement of the synergy between systems, performance, and risk management.  By focusing on this synergy, and by leveraging our experience in IT Governance-related disciplines, Loricca can assist your organization with implementation endeavors in:

IT Framework Disciplines - Loricca has extensive experience with the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL), Control Objectives for Information and related Technology (COBIT), ISO/IEC 27001, Information Security Management Maturity Model (ISM3), and the Capability Maturity Model (CMM).

Business Service Management - By guiding your company in managing technical resources and strategically aligning them with your business priorities to enable a competitive advantage, Loricca can assist your organization in delivering the best ROI possible for your investment.

Compliance Architecture - By  developing an architecture compliant with relevant laws or requirements, your business can align security drivers with business goals.  This allows organizations to achieve maximum benefit from security expenditures, simply security audit activities, and create a logical matrix which maps and aligns required business drivers with security requirements.

IT Service Management - Centering on the customer's view of IT's contribution toe their business, ITSM is process-focused and is tied into process improvement methodologies.  Rather than focusing how to use a system, Loricca will empower your organization to focus on the back end of operations instead of technology development by providing a foundation to match IT-related activities with business customers and users.
