Enterprise IT departments can look to the new COBIT 5 framework for 
governance and management best practices, according to ISACA, a global 
nonprofit IT industry group.

Along with improvements in risk management, businesses should find it 
easier to derive the most value from their IT investments through the 
use of COBIT 5. The co-chairman of the COBIT 5 task force, Derek Oliver, 
said in a statement that demand for the update is substantial.

"The advance interest in COBIT 5 has been overwhelming. It is clear that

manage and ensure value from the growing mountain of information and 
increasingly complex technologies they are grappling with," he said.

The organization also released the results of a member survey along with 
COBIT 5. According to ISACA, roughly three-quarters of those polled

44% said they planned to selectively increase their IT spending sometime 
within the next year.
