A set of best practice notes to improve the way organisations specify, acquire and benefit from Information Systems.

There is widespread concern in industry that investment in IS does not deliver value for money and that many projects do not meet business objectives.

The BuyIT Guidelines are a set of best practice notes to improve the way organisations specify, acquire and benefit from IS. They cover computing and telecommunication technologies and their exploitation by people.

The Guidelines help companies answer the questions:

  • What are the key issues that should concern the CEO and the Board?
  • What should be done to ensure success?
  • What are the warning signs to look out for?

No prior knowledge of the technologies is assumed.
