The ISSUE...

Making different useful information available by relying on clear indicators is necessary to allow information technology managers to analyze situations, anticipate changes, and respond as quickly as possible.

A Tool to Navigate Better ...

Of course, a number of questions arise when a new Control Panel system is put in place. This analysis process can be very useful in considering navigation tools and how to develop them for maximum efficiency. Some questions could be:

• Is the information system compatible with the company’s new information needs?
• How should we navigate the change?
  
• How do we choose the most relevant metrics?
• What is the best way to manage our information technology? 
  

In the current economic climate, with its rapid change and unpredictability, information system performance indicators are the keystone of any proactive company. Also, information technology governance and regulatory constraints are additional reasons to call on these indicators.

Our control panel is absolutely vital in this context as a decision-making tool that ensures that the actions undertaken are, in fact, compatible with the business’s strategy. The tool allows a performance evaluation and assessment of the IS’s situation. Most of all, our tool helps you optimize processes that generated added value.
The Control Panel will also help you evaluate your applications’ maintainability and give clear, synthesized information to monitor indicators such as: 

• SLOC - Software Lines of Code
• Complexity level (MacCabe cyclomatic complexity)
• Comment rates
• Modification rates
  

The Control Panel also provides qualitative indicators including average incident resolution time, and project tracking indicators such as maintenance loads.
 Measurement results can be logged regularly to obtain trend analyses.
Strategic indicators are by definition tied to the concept of operational indicators. These two concepts complement each other and are an essential factor in guiding your IS.
