Product Description
Unlike other books, which merely discuss strategies important to the chief information officer, this volume discusses how the guidelines it recommends can actually be executed. The authors provide not only a survey of existing strategies but include detailed problem-solving ideas, such as how to structure optimal IT and telecom contracts with suppliers, the implications of SOP-98, and accounting for software costs. The book brings together two perspectives: that of a working CIO who must cope with the day-to-day pressure for results, and that of an IT audit consultant with a special focus on governance and internal control. Examples, charts, templates, and anecdotes supplement the material.

Practical, Very Useful Appendices January 7, 2009
Jamie Jurgensmier
Brown and Yarberry seem to have packed a lot of information for a CIO or IT manager in the trenches rather than the ivory tower. I liked their treatment of IT finance, mergers and acquisitions, architecture and business intelligence. The interviews, some from reasonably high level CIOs such as Dennis Klinger at Florida Power and Light, were really useful. Sometimes their comments are a bit flippant but the humor is welcome. The book definitely is worth five stars though I wish it were a bit longer.
