IT controlling is an interdisciplinary subfield of business informatics. IT controlling is established as a tool for controlling information technology. The job description of the IT controller has changed only moderately over a long period of time. It was mainly associated with IT budgeting, IT portfolio management, IT cost planning, accounting and controlling. However, digitalization has brought movement in goals, contents and methods. New topics such as digital strategy management, cloud controlling, data science, etc. are being discussed. The task profile is changing away from pure IT cost analysis to the management of the digitization strategy with a focus on strategic IT portfolio management. Some voices are already talking about "smart controlling" or "digital controlling".

Today, digitization has become not a question of “if” but of “how” and “with what.” Current topics such as agile software development, data science, and cloud computing are established in practice and must be taken up by IT controlling. Whereas the original focus was on the recording, allocation, and analysis of IT costs, portfolio management is now becoming increasingly important as part of a digital strategy. Digital business models and IT are growing together. Even if many employees in IT controlling still spend a lot of time planning and monitoring IT budgets, the changes in the job description are becoming certain. The book has therefore been fundamentally revised. It is intended to provide students at universities and employees in practice with a guideline for a modern IT controlling concept.

This book presents an IT controlling concept for the digital age and explains the relevant methods in a practical way.
