The company's IT department must develop new processes and infrastructure to keep up with globally-oriented clients seeking competitive advantages. As an increasingly project-oriented organization, the IT department partners with clients' IT departments to coordinate communications better. Managing global projects poses unique challenges like defining roles for executive sponsors and addressing issues that come with a globally-oriented organization.
