IT Health Check

Your IT function is vital to your success, and must contribute to your success, not inhibit it. Therefore, understanding the health of your IT function is critical.

What is the IT Health Check?

Pan Eight's ‘IT Health Check’ is designed to take a snapshot of your IT function in order to compare against industry best practices and new technologies, as well as determine its capability to facilitate your current and future business objectives.

What are the main benefits?

• Increased visibility of unnecessary overheads
• Increased visibility of process bottlenecks
• Identification of opportunities relating to:
  • increased competitiveness
  • increased Green IT credentials
  • technology evolution and optimisation
  • process optimisation
  • operational streamlining
  • vendor agreement renegotiation
• Increased employee engagement

All of the above whilst allowing your business to focus on what matters most, revenue generation, cost reduction, stability and growth.

How is it done?

We utilise our own proprietary four-phased methodology to perform the IT Health Check. The process includes:

Phase I - Initiation

We confirm the scope of the work, confirm the deliverables, agree the project governance and produce a project plan.

Phase II - Discovery

1. Understand the IT business plans and objectives
2. Understand business interaction with IT
3. Understand how the IT function is managed
4. Review of applications and systems
5. Review of services provided to the business
6. Review of other areas and 3rd parties

Phase III - Gap Analysis

Once the current operating model report has been agreed we will conduct a gap analysis of the performance and capability of your IT function against business objectives, forecasts, best practice, industry norms, technology evolution, and competitor metrics.

Phase IV - Recommendations

We will deliver a report which will contain prioritised and justified recommendations for improvements that should be actioned to ensure that the IT function is delivering service that is appropriate for the needs of the business.

What are the deliverables?

1. Project initiation document
2. Current operating model report and dashboard
3. Recommendations report
