Endeavor3's Information Technology Utilization report has helped to increase profits by 25% and returned millions of dollars in annual savings to our client's bottom line results.

 Identify Productivity, Utilization, and Profits

When a client engages Endeavor3 for an IT assessment, we perform our flagship offering, the Information Technology Utilization (ITU) study, which analyzes the core functions of the client's business, which drive performance and profitability. By using the firm's proprietary method we can measure the profitability and productivity of your business functions, which allows us to determine how much money each function costs your company every year. We also measure IT productivity and utilization, using methods we have developed from both industry resources and our own experiences in the field. This measurement identifies the scope for improvements in efficiency and service levels a client can achieve by improving technology utilization.

The results of the ITU include a calculation of cost savings and service improvements available in a particular technology project. The organization's senior management can use this decision-making tool to determine the focus for any subsequent projects.

The ITU allows us to identify underperforming technology and produces analysis, measurements and near-term actions that identify potential improvements. These productivity improvements are translated into organizational performance and profits in business activities.

The ITU report provides the process definition, process calculations and process charts, operating environment analysis and technology analysis for the organization. Endeavor3's ITU pinpoints four key measurements that identify current technology performance:



      IT Utilization This is a measure of how well an organization makes use of technology in             its core processes. It is calculated as a percentage of the maximum possible effective use of             technology.

      IT Productivity A measure of how productive current core processes are, compared to             processes supported by an effective use of technology. It is expressed as a percentage relative             to optimal automated processes.

      IT Capacity The IT capacity is a measure of the current technology's ability to support the             organization. It is expressed as the revenue size that the system can reliably support.

      Lost Profit A measure of the profit that is being lost due to ineffective IT systems and business             processes. It is calculated as a dollar value, which is the amount of additional profit that could be             recovered from a productive use of technology.
