The Health Check Report will provide information needed to empower executives to make changes required in today’s uncertain conditions.  NegenIT’s IT Health Check (ITHC) program is a straightforward, cost-effective service to assess the business value of the IT department.

IT is the engine of a modern company.  Each step of a company’s engagement with customers and suppliers depends on IT in some way, and management relies on the information provided to guide decisions.  They wonder whether IT changes being considered will contribute towards the profitability of the company, or will they just drain resources? Most executives do not have the in-depth IT understanding to assess the true effectiveness of their IT function, and they are wondering, “How can I find out?”

NegenIT’s IT Health Check is built on the extensive experience of Executive Consultants who developed the comprehensive assessment models of the IT Assessment Suite (ITAS).  This, and real-world IT Management experience, has honed the insight and instincts, which guide the investigation. As a result, the business management team will receive a subjective Qualified Professional Opinion on the state of IT health. And, they receive this within days.

NegenIT IT Heath Check service looks into the:

• Corporate Culture - Identify the corporate culture, e.g. “Consensus”, “Blame”, “Reward”, “Risk-Averse”
• Decision Making:  What is the IT decision-making and priority setting process?
• Reporting:  What IT reporting is in place?  How accountable is IT to the business?
• Skills Profiles: What skills are required and employed?  Is there a skills development process?
• Policies, Processes and Procedures:  Are PP&Ps formal and documented? Are they effective?
• Standards and Practices:  Are there formally documented S&Ps?  Are they followed?
• Tools:  Does the organization invest in productivity tools for IT?  What value do they provide?

 “NegenIT IT Health Check is what we were looking for”, say Anne Martin, President of United Van Lines (Canada) Ltd.  “Within a very short time NegenIT was able to identify the major challenges and provide the advice and recommendations to improve our operational effectiveness.”  Martin further states, “NegenIT’s IT Health Check program is ideal for CEO’s and Presidents who need to quickly get an objective view of their IT, its people, resources and effectiveness.”      

The NegenIT IT Health Check provides a snapshot — a fast and non-disruptive review that delivers a high-impact result. It gives executives a summary of what works and what could work better.  The IT Health Check is the first step in the process of gaining control over IT and ensuring it delivers the results the business needs to be more profitable.

Martin Hockham, NegenIT’s Assessment Practice Partner explains, “We find clients in a quandary, wondering which way to turn when it comes the mysterious subject of IT.  We provide insight and clarity, leaving them with an improved understanding, increased transparency, and recommendations to truly change the ‘rules of the game’ when it comes to getting the most from IT.” Hockham adds, “The report’s recommendations becomes the basis for plans to update IT practices and procedures, and can be the baseline against which annual reviews can be scheduled.”
