M. Tech. Business Administration / The advent of information technology has significantly influenced and changed how businesses are being managed and monitored today. Information technology functions have strived tirelessly to understand demand, set priorities, deliver effectively, and capture value, yet the results still disappoint. Company ABC is currently operating within a market that calls for better use of its assets in order to reduce costs and improve its operations. The information technology function is seen as a strategic asset for ABC and needs to be assessed to determine the level of capability so that it can make a meaningful contribution towards achieving various business objectives. This study sought to assess various information technology functions to determine their level of capability. An analysis was done of the company's information technology processes based on the control objectives for information and related technology (COBIT) framework. The study also highlights the status of ABC's information technology systems and determines what control should be established. Finally it sought to assist the organisation in satisfying its quality, fiduciary and security requirements for their information assets.
