Governance of Outsourced IT Services
Donna Hutcheson, Information Technology Audit Director
Energy Future Holdings Corporation
Business and corporate resiliency relies on IT organizations to
outsource the tasks, not the responsibility for adequate service or
adequate controls. Companies that outsource “broken” or
ineffective processes and procedures will not reduce the total cost
of the services to the degree they anticipate. Successful
outsourcing of IT services must include appropriate controls,
performance measurement, and communication; in other words,
effective IT Governance. This session analyzes the risks
of outsourcing, trends in outsourcing domestically and offshore, the
legal / regulatory consequences of outsourcing, approaches for
managing outsourced services, and governance techniques.
Participants will explore the following topics:
- Common failures in governing
outsourced IT services
- Services with higher risk due to
outsourcing
- Integrating internal business
processes, outsourced business processes, and outsourced IT services
with effective governance for all
- Guidelines for oversight of key
performance indicators that truly measure the effectiveness of
outsourced IT services
Donna Hutcheson is the Director of Internal IT Auditing for Energy
Future Holdings Corporation. She has extensive and diversified
