BEST PRACTICE INTEGRATION
RMS Africa believes that a stable IT environment, supported by effective processes is a must for any company that wants to excel. Available Standards, Frameworks and Best Practices provide clear guidelines on what and how that can be achieved. But these also have a complexity attached to it that requires a smart approach to be successful in realising a final deliverable. To meet these challenges, RMS Africa does not merely follow Standards, Frameworks and Best Practices blindly, but rather use it to prove strategic benefits. RMS Africa utilises a consulting model that combines these in a logical sense, mapping them against each other and thereby complementing them into one logical model, in line with the requirements of the customer environment. ISO 27001/2 provides clear guidelines for effective Security Management and Risk Mitigation. From a Continuity of Business perspective, BS 25999 provides clear guidelines and controls to ensure that business can continue to operate even after a disaster. From an IT Governance perspective, CobiT/ ISO 38500 / King III provides clear guidelines and control objectives for measurable governance, metrics and practices.

Effective Best Practice Integration
By adding ITIL / ISO 20000 to the equation the answer of how to do what, is then addressed adequately. Roles, responsibilities and information process flows can now be established according the priority for managing IT and within the enabling processes and activities. These combined practices enable a stable IT environment that is based on business requirements through appropriate delivery & support structures, mitigated risks and measured improvements.
