IT touches nearly every process, every person, and every decision in organizations today. It also represents a significant cost of doing business and an equally significant source of savings.
Brivea helps you demystify your IT spend and develop an actionable approach to measuring and improving IT ROI. It's based on a 10-point Executive Dashboard that utilizes your data, industry-specific best practices, and our technology and processes to render an objective score of your organization's IT financial strengths and weaknesses. Your BriveaScore™ becomes the basis for your IT strategy going forward, with specific actions to take with resulting savings and benefits.
| Dial 1: IT Tactical Spend What is your annual IT spend? Know this with specificity is the first step toward eliminating unnecessary costs. Brivea takes a hard look at direct and indirect IT costs related to hardware, software licenses, maintenance, telecom, supplies, and payroll. |
Dial 2: Data Quality Effective data collection and management processes ensure that a company's investment in data capture results in meaningful data sets from which business decisions are made. Brivea analyzes where and how data is entered, stored, and the protocols for managing data and its security. Improvements in this area directly contribute to the bottom line. |
Dial 3: Financial Ratios How much of your IT spend is maintenance versus new solutions? Best practice organizations spend 70 percent of their IT budget on innovative solutions, not support. Brivea helps you determine your competitive versus support IT spend. We can move IT from an expense to an investment in your competitive advantage. |
| Dial 4: Data Accessibility and Reporting How accessible is your data? How and when is it delivered? Often data is inaccessible, outdated or in a cumbersome format. Misaligned access to information affects efficiency, decision-making and productivity, with serious consequences for overall financial performance. Brivea examines existing processes with the goal of moving clients to proactive reporting so you have immediate business intelligence in formats that support smart decision-making. |
Dial 5: Utilization of the IT Portfolio Is your organization using what you're paying for? Brivea's analysis will uncover under-utilized systems, software and licenses, and determine if they have the potential to deliver increased value if appropriately utilized or should be discontinued. |
Dial 6: IT Asset Age Aged technology can hold organizations back. Knowing when to upgrade, update, or right size IT assets is increasingly difficult. Brivea brings clarity to the issue, analyzing software, hardware, vendor contracts, and overall strategy to identify IT waste and future IT asset strategy and budget. |
| Dial 7: Alignment of Business and IT Plans Successful organizations use IT as a powerful enabler to drive sales, manage customer relationships, control supply chains, and drive financial performance. Yet all too often, business strategy and IT operate independently. Brivea's analysis helps identify the gaps between the C-suite and IT and a strategy for optimizing alignment and results. |
Dial 8: Executive Cohesion Best practice companies have clear IT strategies supported by leadership. IT projects and business operations suffer when executives have unrealistic expectations, disagree on priorities, lack understanding, or fail to disseminate consistent messaging across the organization. Brivea's deep-dive analysis will help you secure executive alignment and cohesion. |
Dial 9: Role of the IT Organization A strong IT department is a tremendous asset, driving and supporting ROI. Yet the rapid pace of change in technology, business, and people can challenge even the best IT departments. Brivea looks at organizational structure and how IT interfaces with the business. Identifying opportunities for elevating engagement, governance, and performance is the objective. |
| Dial 10: Workforce IT Training and Competency Companies invest millions on IT and often don't invest in IT training. Best-in-class companies leverage "Power Users"—employees who know how to maximize IT tools. Brivea assesses your workforce IT development process to determine if your people are well trained, productive, and leveraging IT tools to enhance your business results. |
