• are the IT applications and infrastructure suitable to run the business on day 1 ?
• are the IT costs in line with the size and profitability of the overall business?
• are the existing IT governance and processes sufficient to run IT and adequately manage risk?
• are IT investment plans adequate to support the business plan?
