Benchmarking and Consulting Services
Sometimes a research report is not enough—you need expert assistance. Computer Economics consulting services combine our extensive research database with the knowledge of our analyst staff to provide benchmarking and other services tailored specifically to the needs of your organization.
IT Spending and Staffing Custom Benchmarking
Using the survey instrument that we deploy in our annual study, we gather detailed data on your organization's IT spending, IT staffing, and technology adoption ratios.
We then compare your organization's metrics against our most recent benchmarks for peer organizations, based on size and industry sector.
The result is a 50+ slide presentation showing how you stand against organizations in your industry sector as well as similarly sized organizations, along with our analysis of the variances.
We are happy to provide you with a free sample of our custom benchmarking deliverable and along with pricing information.
IT Security and Cybersecurity Custom Benchmarking
In the face of ever-increasing security threats and cybersecurity incidents, many business leaders feel they should be spending more on security but are not sure how much is enough.
To meet this need, we are now publishing our annual report on IT security spending benchmarks. For many companies, this is a good start on understanding how much their industry peers are spending on security and what they are spending it on.
But many clients want to go further. They want a narrower definition of their industry, and they want a more detailed analysis, tailored for their specific situation.
To meet this need, we are now offering a custom benchmarking service for IT security, cybersecurity, and compliance spending and staffing..
Outsourcing Service Provider Contract Benchmarking
Any organization that is outsourcing some or all of its IT services should, routinely, benchmark those servoce provider contracts. Contract pricing and service levels are changing from year to year, whether for data center services, help desk, desktop support, application development, network services, or any other form of IT outsourcing. Pricing is further complicated by a multitude of factors, such as what services are included, where they are sourced, and who owns any assets.
Moreover, service provider contracts are usually written for three-year, five-year, or even longer contract periods. Without benchmarking, you are likely to not be getting the best terms and conditions offered to new customers.
