Benefits of IT Budget Benchmarking

There are a variety of reasons that organizations use AvaMark to evaluate their IT spending and staffing levels. For example:

To improve IT operational performance through better understanding of how IT costs and staff levels compare with those of other organizations.
To justify existing or proposed levels of IT spending based on typical budgetary ratios in similar organizations.
To develop a business case for new IT staff positions based on typical IT staffing ratios for various functions
To evaluate the IT spending and staffing characteristics of a potential corporate acquisition or investment target, as part of a due diligence exercise

Avasant can also serve as a trusted third party to prepare a custom benchmarking study for a group of companies in a more narrow sector—even between competitors—to allow participants to benchmark their IT spending and staffing levels without revealing the details of their own metrics to the other participants. All information that we gather is held in strict confidence and is only used to prepare the summary statistics.
