About ITGI

The IT Governance Institute (ITGI) was established in 1998 in recognition of the increasing criticality of information technology to enterprise success.

ITGI aims to benefit enterprises by assisting enterprise leaders in their responsibility to make IT successful in supporting the enterprise's mission and goals.
