Produktbeschreibung

"The IT Managers Survival Guide" schließt eine echte Marktlücke. Dieser praktische Leitfaden behandelt technische UND strategische Aspekte bei der Planung von IS/IT Management, und zwar in einem einzigen handlichen Band. Die Autoren nennen gute Gründe, warum eine IT/IS-Einheit auf einer soliden Basis errichtet werden sollte.

In einer Reihe von Aufsätzen führender IT Manager und -Experten werden Fehler beim IT/IS Management offen angesprochen und Lösungsmöglichkeiten aufgezeigt. "The IT Managers Survival Guide" ist ein nützlicher Ratgeber für Planung und Implementation von IS/IT Einheiten. Mit Checklisten und Templates.
