As technology has become more and more vital to the achievement of business goals and value delivery, enterprise leaders have realized that enterprise governance must be extended to information technology and information systems. Successful enterprises now accept that it is critical to align IT projects, assets and processes with their business strategies and business goals. As a key component of overall enterprise governance, IT governance has emerged as a mission-critical issue for small and large business enterprises worldwide. In order to support the growing demand from business and to promote good IT governance practices, ISACA created the first and only designation to recognize skilled IT governance professionals—the Certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT (CGEIT ) certification.
