When it comes to IT governance, the benefits are obvious: IT is aligned with the business and everyone is happier. But good governance is harder than herding cats.

Microsoft Subnet previously wrote about Microsoft’s efforts to help its customers adopt IT governance best practices, in the form of the Microsoft Operations Framework, newly revised in June. In particular, Microsoft is trying to show how its technologies meld into established governance frameworks like COBIT.

As we move to cloud, who’s governance takes precedence, the client or the supplier?
