Assess code quality and security of your portfolio

Through an industry standard, automated process, IDC assesses dozens and hundreds of applications quickly for code quality and common vulnerabilities and exposures. Clients use this assessment to rapidly assess the software legacy of an acquired organization, part of a diligence process, to understand key exposures to the business from software debt, and to target modernization or cloud migration efforts. Often, this assessment is the first step in a software/application modernization or rationalization effort cutting from months to weeks the level of effort required.

Easily identify what is ready for cloud migration

Automated assessment of application portfolio to triage readiness for cloud migration: ready, refactor, retire, rebuild, or remain onsite decisions. Act to prioritize applications for crowd migration. Cloud transitions are marked by invoices exceeding expectations and unexpected costs.

Quickly understand application portfolio suitability for cloud migration. Traditional analyses can take months, which delays the migration and increases costs. Cloud Readiness delivers a detailed verdict within a couple of weeks. It enables companies to decide and move more rapidly and triage their investments and priorities.

Accurately forecast project costs

Accurately forecast project costs in a repeatable fashion based on international standards. Create objective, auditable and defensible estimates.

Cost estimation fails due to the tendency to be overly optimistic in predictions about the efficiency and effort of projects. By using an industry standard, quantitative frameworks to assess project progress, clients receive concrete, quantifiable forecasts on the costs (and timelines of projects).

The cost estimation service provides accurate pictures of the scope of the software to be realized based on international. Clients receive a minimum, likely and maximum scenario with regard to hours, costs and duration of the project. In addition to calculating different scenarios, IDC helps organizations document the project data to improve future estimates.

Optimize and benchmark your IT organization

Assess internal IT cost and performance and benchmark against peers. Understand and act on where your IT is underperforming with advice on improvement actions. Identify technology and process debt to drive efficiency.

Cost benchmarking. Assess the cost and performance efficiencies of your internal technology services (or parts) against peer organizations or outsourced options. Act on cost insights to reallocate budget or for investment requests. Provide object, data-driven arguments to support technology investments.

ITSCM provides benchmarked, data-driven evidence on how to drive efficiencies and areas for cost improvement. It provides IT organizations fact-based points for budgeting and showing value to the business. Helps re-direct investments from inefficiency to business enablers.

Align IT processes to business requirements

Evaluate current process maturity against current needs and identify future maturity requirements based on business drivers and market pressures. Act on specific recommendations to drive improved maturity.

Assesses a client’s IT current level of organizational and process maturity against existing business requirements and future requirements. Identify the key actions to reach the target maturity level and identifies a client’s maturity versus relevant peers.

This assessment is based on an industry standard CMM maturity model for reuse. IT provides data and recommendation that support investment requirements necessary to match IT maturity to business requirements. It not only assesses, but it provides actionable recommendations to align technology maturity to business strategy.
