IT organization is implemented to prevent chaos and assist in identifying processes for objective achievement. The organizing process transforms the entity plan into controllable areas and includes:

  • Identification and classification of activities for departmentalization
  • Activities grouping based on efficient usage of available resources
  • Delegating authority necessary to perform defined activities
  • Aligning departmental groupings, horizontally and vertically, through authority-activity relationships and information systems
