IT governance refers to practices that an organization implements to guarantee optimal use of information technology to accomplish its objectives. On the supply side, it ensures the efficient assessment, selection, prioritizing, and financing of competing information technology investments. It not only creates advantages that the company can quantify but also monitors the execution of those strategies (Mellon, 2010). On the supply side, it guarantees that the firm worked effectively while still adhering to the regulations. A company's activities are governed by the structure of its IT governance model.
