The whole purpose of any IT system is to produce the right quality information that is required by the business. COBIT provides with lot of guidance on how the data/information should be, how the information can be governed etc.

 

Data is produced to achieve certain objectives. Every data / information produced by IT / IT Systems should be ensured for its objectives achievement. Those objectives must be very clearly defined for an IT System, application or other infrastructure components that are used.
