Failure to align the operating budget with various assumptions such as size, scope, and nature of future operations can pose a problem (Academic Writing Tips, 2011).

With the competitive nature of the information technology sector, IVK chose to spend more on IT each year to provide and maintain systems to customers. Even with this increase in spending, IVK still had a breach in security. Furthermore, this shows that great expenditure has not always resulted in the most successful company.

Seeing as the business units are and have always been rather against working with the IT department, saying they would like it if IT would “stay in the basement where it belonged”, there is going to be an obvious issue here. Getting them to not only work together, but actually want to work together will take some time. This is an issue for both governance and the partnership role, seeing as they both involve having to work with the IT department on a level that has not been done before. However, having IT become

The speed at which technology becomes obsolete, management’s expectations for quick deployment of new technology, and a supplier’s change of their operating model to focus on “as-a-service” (Feldman, 2015) recurring revenue, greatly affect how IT departments approach their budget these days.
