Benchmark Lite Service Offering
Our offering can quickly give clients the results necessary to help answer these questions and
many more. It is through our offering that clients can now quickly obtain industry baseline
benchmarks from similar organizations and industries in order to better understand how their
investment may impact the organization and where key changes may need to be made in order to
improve overall efficiencies and be more responsive to your customer base.
Description:
Our service offering provides a fast, cost efficient, quality benchmark report that supports our
client's IT investment and budget needs. The offering provides consistent results and formats from
client to client and from benchmark to benchmark. Through our state of the art analysis system,
we build statistical results that include selected peer organizations and produce final reports and
charts.
Deliverables:
Standard
ITPMG's consulting service provides a written benchmark report that is presented through easily
understood charts and graphs. The benchmark report provides the client with a choice of any
twenty total metrics selected from our current list of operational metrics across up to three
modules or functions (help desk, mainframes, mid-range servers, data networking, voice
networking, application development, application support, end user and business unit satisfaction).
There is no data collection required as this is an analysis of industry benchmark data contained in
our database and not a comparative analysis of the client and the industry or our total database.
As a result of the streamlined approach and the efficient use of our analytical and database tools,
the report can usually be done in less than three days.
The written report contains metrics pertaining to the client's selected industry's top quartile and
bottom quartile as well as our total database average.
Optional
If the client can provide workload and complexity answers/input using our existing data collection
techniques then we will also provide a customized workload and complexity peer group along with
Top and Bottom quartiles for your selected industry peers. This enhanced set of comparisons
provides valuable insight into the workload and complexity driving the performance of your IT
organization.
Target audience:
CIO (primary), CEO, CFO.
Enterprises that want/need to use comparative analysis to support decisions in the complex
business and IT environment they work in on a daily basis.
