Certified Information Technology Manager (CITM)

Certification Overview

Certified Information Technology Manager (CITM)

Exam Code: CITM-001

Nowadays IT Managers have to be multi-tasking having to deal with the daunting task of understanding technical complexities at the high level. Equally important, they need to be fully aware, understand and be able to manage other key aspects such as people, corporate governance, risk, finance and many other disciplines. Unfortunately the IT industry has never really kept up with this requirement nor was there a proper way for IT Managers to equip themselves with the necessary skills and knowledge for today's complex and challenging environment.

With few exceptions, companies today rely on IT for the delivery of business-critical services – often directly to the end consumer. IT Managers are facing the constant pressure to deliver (new) hi-availability services at an ever increasing faster pace and rate of change.

Managers must understand how Information Technology plays a fundamental role in both the structure and control of the modern business. A successful manager must have an excellent grasp of the functionality, capabilities and effects of the technology that he or she must implement and manage.

The Certified Information Technology Manager (CITM)® will review such key areas as corporate frameworks, software, databases, information systems, communications and management of personnel in relation to technology and from the point of view of the business manager. This Certification is ideal for management professionals who wish to gain an in depth understanding of the management of Information Technology in the modern corporation. The Certification is also ideal for those who would like to learn about the central role of Information Technology in today’s workplace.
