The Best Practice Ecosystem

The Best Practice Ecosystem™ represents the optimal operating and control environment for your IT organization.

A culmination of years of research and development, the ecosystem provides the requisite tools for aligning business and IT while managing risk and reward.

The result is an efficient, effective operating and control environment customized to customer requirements.

What are Best Practices?
Best Practice asserts that there is a technique, method, process, activity, incentive or reward that is more effective at delivering a particular outcome than any other technique, method, process, etc. The idea is that with proper processes, checks, and testing, a desired outcome can be delivered with fewer problems and unforeseen complications. Best practices can also be defined as the most efficient (least amount of effort) and effective (best results) way of accomplishing a task, based on repeatable procedures that have proven themselves over time for large numbers of people. (wikipedia)

What is an ecosystem?
Any group of living and nonliving things interacting with each other and their environment can be considered an ecosystem.
