Technology Management

The role of an IT Executive or Manager is no longer restricted to the implementation and management of technology systems but a more pro active role around delivering true business value from technology and systems.

Many of these issues are as much about governance, design and operating models as they are about technologies and systems. Sopica helps clients to address today's broader technology management issues.
