Value Management and Corporate Governance

What is driving the need for IT Value Management?

• Intensifying cost pressures - "Do more with less"
• CIO's must reposition IT as a strategic investment rather than a cost center
• CIO's must demonstrate lasting business value from their IT investments
• Rapidly shifting priorities and funding as opportunities rise and change requiring a more agile IT organization
• Need to make informed decisions that align with organizational goals
• Need to identify and eliminate inappropriate spending
• Cost and risk of maintaining complex, non-standard, and highly customized applications, architecture and processes
• Value proposition of large IT investments [e.g. ERP, CRM, eBusiness]

These pressures necessitate an approach to making decisions based on business value.

Barometrix and its partner Ajilon Consulting offer value management solutions that offer the ability to:

• View and analyze the value of all investments, IT and non-IT
  • Applications, projects, infrastructure, people, processes
• Prioritize initiatives and allocate funding based on value to the enterprise
• Make better decisions, sooner
• Predict the impact that a change in IT will have on the business
• Create a more flexible and agile IT organization
  Increase utilization levels of current systems and resources
• Understand and balance value with risk across the portfolio
• Identify and consolidate or eliminate unnecessary costs

The bottom line is a way to objectively determine the business value of any investment decision.
