Business technology management (BTM) is a management science
that seeks to unify business and technology decision-making at every
level in an enterprise. BTM delivers a set of guiding principles, known
as BTM capabilities. These capabilities are combined to form BTM
solutions, around which a company's practices can be organized and
improved. Business technology management also defines the expected
characteristics of an organization according to five levels of a
maturity model.
BTM builds bridges between previously isolated tools and standards
for business technology management by strategically incorporating both
operational and infrastructure levels of technology management to ensure
that an enterprise’s business strategy can be realized by the
technology it deploys. This structured approach is used by enterprises
to align, synchronize and even converge technology and business
management for the purpose of ensuring better execution, risk control
and profitability.
