Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Maximizing the business value of IT investments is top of mind for many organizations and is increasingly the focus of IT steering committees, business executives, and even the board of directors at publicly held companies. However, most organizations lack mature processes for measuring the business value of individual investments, let alone managing an entire IT portfolio. SeaQuation is a global company that brings discipline and a process to IT investment management, with a combination of tools, methodologies, benchmarking data, and service offerings. While SeaQuation can help with the heavy lifting, organizations must ensure that they have the appropriate culture, maintain control over outsourced work, and are cautious about placing too much weight on benchmarks.
