Borland Software says while organisations across the world are making progress with IT management and governance, they are still falling short in key process areas like project management, portfolio management, demand management and resource management, reports Business Wire.

The survey also found companies` management and governance efforts are frequently challenged by the inability to integrate their systems for managing application development - which contain vital data and assets - with their overall management and governance processes.
