IT key figures for controlling and management

Meaningful KPIs for managing the IT department

This training is held in German.
The aim of IT controlling is to create transparency in order to identify cost drivers in the IT department. Meaningful IT KPIs, which make what is happening in the company visible, serve as the basis for business decisions, strategic development and efficient management of the IT department. Managers understand the language of key figures. Therefore, the "right" key performance indicators (KPIs) can significantly support targeted communication with management decision-makers.
