(firmenpresse) - PETERBOROUGH, NH -- (Marketwire) -- 02/02/12 -- Growth in consulting spending on IT GRC & Security will outpace increases in demand for architecture and IT management, according to new research from . Kennedy's examination of IT consulting markets worldwide reveals that, while cloud architectures are ushering in an era of business and IT function transformation, governance, risk, compliance and security needs remain high on the agenda for leading IT consultants and their clients. Kennedy analysts identified and distinguished 11 consulting practices that deliver strong to outstanding capabilities in GRC & Security.
"In the current GRC & Security market, IT consultants can either teach their clients to fish, or simply give them a fish," according to Stacy Layton, Kennedy's Senior Analyst for IT Consulting. "Leading IT consultants that possess GRC and security capabilities must design the client's IT environment and execute a high-value of GRC knowledge transfer in a way that enables the client's IT professionals to assume a greater role in driving business value."
