However, because of rapid changes in technology and business needs, staff mobility, turnover and budget pressures, IT staffs often become imbalanced thus adversely impacting organizational performance and cost effectiveness. An imbalanced staff is often not the result of ineffective management. It is usually the result of a lack of viable tools to monitor and address the situation.
Most executives intuitively know when staff levels and alignment are inappropriate.
However, in most cases, they lack the quantitative and qualitative data to make informed decisions. Maps created by the system provide insights concerning what's right with the staff complement and where if any, shortages, excesses and misalignments exist. Analysis and Benchmarking has proven to be a very useful tool to many senior executives. It provides them with the information needed to make informed decisions concerning staff levels and mix.
