Given today’s tough competition in the Zambian business climate, as well as their experience of Information Technology (IT) system implementation projects, chief financial officers and other executives from various business units are focusing more on IT efficiency, IT effectiveness, productivity and cost optimisation. IT problems impede company development, damaging their reputation and leading to a loss of customers, reduced market value, and hinder growth. In connection with this, the requirements for IT service managers are increasing significantly and becoming more complex. On one hand, IT has to help a company meet market demands, focusing on cutting costs and increasing return on investment; on the other, it has to help the organization function effectively and provide access to the necessary management information.
