What does management commitment
mean?
When anyone (including management and sales) submits a project
to be implemented to the IT department:
The implementation team has the authority and
managements backing to reject the request, if business
continuity principles cannot or will not be
preserved.
When the sales person or division manager goes over
the head of the IT department, executive management is
committed to preserving the established business
continuity principles.
When the division manager insists this project must
be implemented immediately, and that business continuity
principles will have to be retrofitted in later,
executive management is committed to a charge back on
the project to the division manager of 5 times the cost
of a business continuity compatible deployment.
The additional charge back revenue is added to the
IT department budget to accommodate the non-standard
project and to cover the cost of retrofitting at a later
date.
