GRIP - IT OVERVIEW

How streamlined are your Back-office IT functions?

This question relates to agility and nimbleness. If you are the CIO or Senior Vice President of Technology, it is the most critical question that gets asked across the table from the CFO are your Business Unit partners.

If you are still relying upon “vendor offerings” on project planning, project portfolio management, application portfolio management, and STILL have issues on IT finance, performance reporting and discipline of delivery, then the answer becomes obvious. You wonder why, after spending so much on these “enterprise software” pieces, you are still left with no reliable data to attempt optimize, or even try to question waste.

For making your most important decisions, you need to compare management data from projects, applications and infrastructure – and compare tangible metrics from these areas. But if the processes are not streamlined, data collected from them is not reliable for making the right decisions.

You no longer need to waste time and energy on pseudo-enterprise software pieces, and still have teams spinning wheels and consolidating data.

“GRIP-IT is a n integrated management control system – and it is a workflow engine, that streamlines the business processes across the “extended lifecycle” – from demand planning, new request approvals, through lifecycle management, applications and decommissioning and beyond. GRIP collects all management data: budget, spend, execution, resources and hurdles and compares them against strategy, risk and KPI.
