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. |
