COBIT Training

 

 

We are one of only a few companies that are Official Licensees of ISACA Content for Training thereby enabling us to deliver worldwide the ISACA-defined COBIT classroom courses. Courses are the well-established COBIT Foundation that we have been running since 2007 and the new follow-on course Implementing Governance of Enterprise IT using COBIT that enhances and replaces the old ISACA classroom course: Implementing IT Governance using COBIT and Val IT.

ITIL Training

Maat Consulting's COBIT courses use content with the permission of ISACA and include in the final hour of the course the relevant ISACA multi-choice exam leading to the relevant ISACA certificate.
 
Courses are presented by our COBIT lecturer, Dr Geoff Harmer, CEng, FBCS, CITP, CGEIT who is an ISACA-licensed trainer and has over 29 years experience in the IT industry as a lecturer and consultant.

We believe we are the only company to deliver COBIT training by an ISACA-licensed trainer who is also an ITIL Expert with ISEB ITIL lecturer accreditation since 2001 and is a specialist in best practice frameworks for IT governance and ITSM. By attending our courses, you can be certain that your concerns about relationships between COBIT, ITIL and other frameworks and standards will be fully addressed.

COBIT User Guide for Service Managers

ITGI published this guide in April 2009. It includes: business and governance challenges facing Service Managers and how COBIT can help plus the key governance tasks for the role aligned with ITIL V3 processes and COBIT 4.1 control objectives. Brief Case studies are included.

COBIT 4.1 to ITIL V3 Mapping

ISACA has published the COBIT 4.1 to ITIL V3 Mapping document (65 pp). ITIL V3 maps to 24 of COBIT's 34 processes and maps fully to 8 COBIT processes. As the report says and we agree: "When used together, COBIT and ITIL provide a top-to-bottom approach to IT Governance and thus to service management". The mapping report is available for free download to ISACA members from the ISACA website or can be purchased as an e-book by anyone from the ISACA bookstore.

IT Governance Global Status Report 2008

The IT Governance Institute (ITGI) has published (Feb 15) their third biennial report on IT Governance around the world.  The report was derived from the views of 749 CEO/CIO-level executives in 23 countries.  Their main concern was that their IT staff have inadequate skills and there are insufficient IT staff.  We at Maat Consulting were pleased to see that awareness of COBIT has increased to 50% and use of COBIT has doubled to 16% in the two years since the last report. Click here to link to the ITGI website to read the report.
