Understanding and Managing Technology Investments

In June of 2020, the IT Ally Institute published its first book by its founder, Michael Fillios titled, Tech Debt 2.0®, How to Future Proof Your Small Business and Improve your Tech Bottom Line. The book redefines the term “technical debt,” emphasizing its hidden costs and the impact it can have on serving customers effectively. As part of our research and thought leadership agenda, we’ve developed industry-first diagnostics to assess an organization’s effectiveness at managing technology investments. These tools help determine your company’s rating as Excellent, Good, Fair, or Poor in managing Tech Debt 2.0® and building Tech Equity.
