Real IT/Business Alignment

Polardene helps CFOs and CIOs see their IT department in terms of the business results it delivers.

This new consulting method bridges the gap between "what the IT department does" and "why the business cares". We call this IT budget accountability™

Our approach is based on years of designing, implementing and running award-winning real-world IT environments in the US and Europe. We are not trying to sell you software and we are very good at what we do.

IT Budget Accountability™
Polardene shows you where your IT budget is really going.

You see how much your business departments are costing to support, not how much it costs to run the data center.

Our consultants re-model your existing IT budget and show you how your business departments are using IT resources.

Why IT needs a budget makeover

IT has changed.

It used to be about delivering good service at a reasonable cost.

Nowadays, IT budgets are coming under much more scrutiny. IT departments have to demonstrate how their costs support particular revenue streams or business outcomes.

The complication is that IT budgets have historically been seen in terms of data centers, desktop support, and staff. These do not tie in to real-world business deliverables.

This makes it difficult for CIOs to explain the value that IT is delivering to their business.

The value of real-world alignment

Polardene works with the CIO and CFO to restructure the IT budget in terms of business outcomes.

We break down the IT silos into groupings that the business understands and values.

The budget makeover gives you a weekly snapshot of exactly where your IT spending is going, how it is supporting your business, and where trade-offs can be made.

And when trade-offs are needed, you can be sure that they are being made from a business perspective.
