A bit of “hyperlocal” community activism in Loudoun County’s Dulles South region – the massive wave of school overcrowding beginning to lap at the shores of the existing school infrastructure requires new schools quickly, in this fastest-growing area of all the Metro DC region.

Blackstone Technology Group announces their “IT Governance Process Integration” Framework, Solution and Services offering.
How do you align all your decision-making processes, especially for large IT system acquisitions?
Organizations face many decision-making thresholds during the course of planning, acquisition, delivery and operation of their Information Technology (IT) capabilities. In order to achieve successful delivery of IT capabilities, and therefore derive the expected business or mission performance outcomes, organizations must effectively apply and integrate multiple IT governance processes and frameworks.
Integrated governance involves the orchestration of policies (including delineation of roles, responsibilities, and authorities), processes, and tools for successfully meeting business requirements that ultimately support an organization’s overall mission. More often than not, the various governance processes operate independently and at various stages of maturity. Integration facilitates maturation of these processes, effective alignment to business or mission outcomes, and application of the appropriate enterprise models and tools.
