The problem

Most organisations have unidentified dangers in their technology function, and are missing critical opportunities for improvement.

Larger organisations may engage high calibre consultants to help - but this costs tens of thousands of dollars and takes weeks or months. The resulting report is often inconsistent, incomplete or biased to sell services.

The solution

The comprehensive StackUp assessment takes less than 30 minutes, is 100% independent, consistent, and a fraction of the cost of engaging a consultant.

Organisations can re-assess at any time as they improve.

FAQs

What makes StackUp different?

StackUp provides a comprehensive evaluation of all aspects of technology and technology function processes, including strategy, employee engagement, service delivery, and innovation—not just security and compliance.

Our platform provides human-led, actionable insights, and supports informed decision making at every level, from Technology Leaders, to C-Level Executive to Board Members and Investors.

How secure is our data with StackUp?

We employ robust security measures to ensure that all user data is encrypted, securely stored, and only accessible by authorised personnel. For any comparative purposes, all data is aggregated and anonymised to protect your privacy and confidentiality.

This seems too good to be true—how do you assess our technology function in just 30 minutes?

The StackUp assessment is built on 30 years of experience in technology, including 20 years in CIO and CTO roles.

This extensive expertise has been distilled into 50 carefully curated questions, designed to be completed by your technology leader in under 30 minutes.

While the assessment itself is quick, it reflects decades of experience and insights that make it both impactful and efficient.

The questions are objective and include a "Don't know" option for any unknowns, helping to identify areas where improvement is needed. In a high-performing technology function, a leader should be able to answer these questions confidently.

Once gaps are identified, your technology leader can take actionable steps and return to re-submit the assessment at any time to track progress and improvements.

Will StackUp's assessment identify a bunch of problems that are going to cost a fortune and take ages to fix?

StackUp's assessment will identify any gaps in the fundamental technology health of your organisation.

However, most of these problems are relatively fast and cost effective to fix, and have an enormously positive impacts on the organisation: risk reduction, cost reduction, efficiency improvements, security improvements etc.

The StackUp algorithm provides a prioritised list of items to improve so you don't have to boil the ocean - tackle one high priority item at a time and resubmit to track your improvement. You can do this internally, or leverage our independent network of specialist suppliers.

The assessment is balanced - so it also highlights areas that are performing well and that should be celebrated.

Is StackUp just for assessing technology companies or can it be used on any company?

While technology companies benefit from StackUp, our platform is valuable for any organisation that uses technology to operate, innovate, or serve customers (so most companies, not just 'technology companies'.

StackUp helps CEOs, Boards, Technology Leaders and Investors across all industries assess their technology foundations, identify risks, and prioritise improvements—whether you’re in finance, healthcare, retail, education, or any other sector.

If technology is important to your business, StackUp can help you strengthen it.

We outsource some or all of our technology to a third-party provider - do we still need StackUp?

Yes! Even if you outsource your technology, StackUp helps ensure your providers align with your business objectives, manage risks effectively, and deliver value. It identifies gaps, inefficiencies, and potential risks in your outsourced setup while giving you the insights needed to strengthen oversight and vendor management.

Outsourcing does not remove your responsibility for ensuring your technology function supports business objectives, manages risk effectively, and aligns with industry best practices. It also does not eliminate the need for strategic technology decisions. StackUp helps you assess provider performance, negotiate better terms, and ensure your technology investments drive long-term business growth.
