CIO Control Panel

Most CIOs find it challenging to get meaningful, consolidated, and transparent status of their IT performance metrics—either because of the amount of data available or because they are overwhelmed by determining which specific metrics are relevant to their business. From our CIO Perspective, corporate decision–making requires the availability of appropriate data. Entech’s CIO Control Panel provides a clear and transparent point of view on key performance indicators (KPIs) that are critical to successfully meeting business goals with IT.

Our holistic method provides a broad set of technology indicators such as:

• Operational performance
• Resource utilization
• Portfolio project status
• Risk factors
• Key success metrics

By utilizing Entech’s CIO Control Panel, CIOs can improve productivity strategies, increase service levels, and enhance reliability—while controlling risk and cost.

Project Health Check

Entech uses a unique 15–point checklist to objectively measure the health and wealth of the projects within your IT portfolio—either during the planning stages or during post–deployment. Our method assesses and audits business/IT requirements, project deliverables, resource allocations, quality, and key milestones. We look for gaps in people, process, and technology that would reveal risk to the projects, such as cost overruns and delivery schedule challenges. In the end, we bridge the gap between the business vision and the project execution, and deliver a realistic strategy and action plan for gap closures.
