Managing and Governing IT
Gartner defines IT-Governance as “the decision-making authority and accountability to encourage desirable behaviors in the usage of IT.” However, if governance is disconnected from the daily operation of the IT function, the best decision making is stymied by poor execution. To work efficiently and deliver value, the governance strategy must be transparent to everybody and be supported by a coordinated approach and systems that measure and demonstrate business value from technology investments and hold IT accountable for business results. Niku partners can help you assess IT management and governance capabilities and implement successful improvement programmes.
Driving Business Change
Business and technology change are accelerating at an unprecedented rate. In today’s climate of increased demand, reduced cycle times, cutthroat competition and complex regulations, businesses need to increase their agility while improving quality and reducing costs. Doing so requires significant change in processes and skills, and managing these changes successfully requires careful analysis, thorough planning and flawless execution. Niku partners can help you effectively manage this change.
Demonstrating Software ROI
Your organisation demands quantifiable proof of the operational impact, cost reduction potential and strategic business value from any proposed technology solution. Niku partners work with customers to build business cases that identify the true benefits of planned IT investments.

Controlling Outsourcing Relationships
As companies outsource more IT functions, they need better methods to improve control and visibility to ensure the success of these critical relationships. Likewise, the outsource partner needs to provide visibility into and show accountability for all ongoing initiatives. Niku partners help customers establish effective communication and processes for maximising the benefit of outsourcing relationships.
Streamlining New Product Development
Introducing new and improved products on a faster schedule is the path to success. Given finite budgets and resources, the challenge becomes how to best allocate, coordinate, plan and track the diverse programmes and resources involved in product development and introduction. Done wrong, market windows are missed. Done right, more products come to market sooner, with revenue growth following right behind. Niku partners can help you improve new product development success through improved processes and cutting-edge technology.
Assessing Programme Management Maturity
Every organisation can improve its programme and project management processes, but doing so requires understanding the current state and building a roadmap to the future state. Maturity assessment models help you assess your present level of programme management maturity, develop an effective improvement plan, deploy your improvement initiatives and measure your maturity advancement. Niku partners can help you assess and improve your programme management maturity.
Improving Project and Resource Management
A key to successful business performance is the optimal investment, use and allocation of resources (people, applications, technology, facilities, etc.) in servicing the needs of the enterprise. Once these resources are allocated, the associated initiatives and projects must be executed flawlessly. Niku partners can help you improve resource allocation and project management capabilities.

Implementing Project Portfolio Management
IT alignment with the business remains elusive, but portfolio management provides an important component of maximising the return on the business’ investment in IT. Niku partners can help portfolio managers set business priorities, avoid technology risks, recognise skill constraints and increase project visibility and control.
Implementing Clarity Software from Niku

Clarity is most often implemented in phases for immediate benefit. Niku engagement managers and Niku partners work with customers to understand requirements, provide best-practice consulting, implement software and manage change to maximise the value of their investment.
