However, essential, explicit and cross-cutting models that allow keeping bottom-line in sight over the whole initiative lifecycle are generally absent. The role of IT Demand Management is instrumental in addressing this issue due to its unique positioning between business and IT. We advocate that the classical Business/IT alignment should primarily be reformulated as a more general Business/Business alignment.

In this paper, we present the case of the IT Demand Management of ZON Multimedia and report on its transformation in the last 3 years a journey of increasing maturity and transformation towards value-orientation.
