makes IT-Governance visible

We measure alignment based on expectations. These can be quite different at various levels of the enterprise. CIOs can value customer satisfaction, quality and workflow simplification. CEOs and shareholders evaluate projects on the basis of contributions to net cash flow.

End-users will judge the conformity to specifications, timely delivery, flexibility… And you may want to be aligned to a standard framework.

Octant visualizes how information technology fulfills the expectations of the different stakeholders, actually as well as for simulated new situations.

Octant, the IT Governance suite

We use the maturity diagnostic module to show the current performance compared to the expectations of different stakeholders.
We can benchmark with other companies. We can perform what-if analyses, showing what happens if we simulate improvements.
This forms the basis for our recommendations for improvement. We propose the best roadmap to the optimal ‘To Be’ situation.
The portfolio management module, integrated with the risk management and the investment prioritization processes insures the all IT investments are managed and controlled.
The ROI calculation module permits to evaluate the bottom line results of a project.
The 6 Sigma module is used to promote and monitor continuous improvement, while the Green-IT maturity module scores the green ICT friendliness of organizations.
