The problem

It’s hard to keep up with the pace of technology change

New technologies and security risks are emerging rapidly, technical debt is increasing, and the change is accelerating.

As a result, many organisations have unidentified weaknesses in their technology functions, costing them tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars annually due to outages, hacks, avoidable risks, failed M&A or investment deals, and wasted time and money on the wrong priorities.

CEOs attend expensive conferences and stay well-read, but it’s challenging for any individual to keep up. Most organisations simply can't afford the $35,000-a-month C-level consultants who could help address these challenges.

The solution

Benchmarking in all the areas that matter

StackUp helps leaders “confront the brutal facts" without bias, by understanding how their organisation is performing in each key technology area.
 
These insights help avoid costly, and sometimes existential threats to the organisation.

The StackUp platform shines a light on the metrics that matter, and puts you in control. It enables you and your team to celebrate areas of excellence, and make informed choices about where your technology team invests time, budget and effort.
