Effective management and governance is key to the business and information technology alignment. Just as business organisations have to be responsive to the changes in their operating environment to remain competitive, they also have to be proactive in leveraging technological resources to sense these changes and take appropriate strategic and operational decisions. Governance of information technologies is not the job of technology administrators; in fact, it is everybody's responsibility. With this recognition and understanding, technology stakeholders are able to assume responsibilities and accountabilities to execute and achieve desirable behaviour in the use of information technologies. This paper presents a case study of a bank in Thailand on how it has embedded governance practices in its social, operational, structural, and technical environment. It concludes that maximization of value from information technologies is dependent upon the technical, cultural, and organisational endorsement of business practices relating to their governance.

Selection And Assessment

The purpose of this work is to use information technology to help management decisions. The crux of the problem is the choice of suppliers of materials and components for mechanical engineering companies. Periodically, in the procurement process, suppliers should be assessed on a number of criteria. The importance of rating is due to the fact that in today's market there are a large number of suppliers of the same material resources. Purchase is made from the most competitive suppliers, constantly confirming their status as a reliable business partner. The company developed a method of evaluating suppliers based on the system of management of the bases of the bath Microsoft Office Access. MS Access works in the Windows operating environment and allows users to organize a local database (DB). The local Access database has its own tables, forms, reports and other DB facilities of the organization with a relatively small amount of data. With the help of the scoring method, suppliers are ranked by their level of reliability. The relationship is terminated with a supplier that does not meet the required level of reliability. In this way, management solutions for logistics of supply receive a tool to hang the efficiency and get good results of the enterprise, to achieve its market stability.

National legislation is in place to facilitate reform of the United States health care industry. The Health Care Information Technology and Clinical Health Act (HITECH) offers financial incentives to hospitals, physicians, and individual providers to establish an electronic health record that ultimately will link with the health information technology of other health care systems and providers. The information collected will facilitate patient safety, promote best practice, and track health trends such as smoking and childhood obesity.
