Finance for IT Decision Makers covers those aspects of finance relevant to IT professionals in both business and non-commercial organizations who make or influence decisions about IT. Many 'IT' people don't like 'finance' very much. At best it leaves them indifferent; at worst they just wish it would go away. 'Finance' is the thing that has incomprehensible jargon and charges budgets with costs that were never incurred. Finance for IT Decision Makers throws light on to the twilight zone where these two disciplines meet. Assuming no prior knowledge of finance, it takes the reader step by step through each IT-relevant financial topic.
