The problem

Technology is moving fast, and it’s hard to stay on top of every area

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.

‍

Many technology leaders are overwhelmed trying to manage these demands, with limited resources and ever-growing complexity in their technology function.

The solution

Benchmarking in all the areas that matter

StackUp helps technology leaders understand how their organisation is performing in each key technology area.

‍

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.

‍

The StackUp report can be presented to the CEO, board or investors to create a shared understanding of the state of the entire technology function.

Measurement is the first step that leads to control and eventually to improvement. If you can’t measure something, you can’t understand it. If you can’t understand it, you can’t control it. If you can’t control it, you can’t improve it.

It makes sense not to want to conduct time consuming, painful, expensive audits or reviews.

StackUp's self assessment on the other hand, takes under 30 minutes and gets straight to where the practical value lies. There's no excuse not to do it.
