Effectively Manage IT and Business Processes

EquaTerra’s Governance WorkPlace is the first comprehensive, fully scalable buy-side tool available in the market that automates the transactional components of governance, and provides decision-making support for the more strategic work. Ideally suited for teams who manage outsourced or blended sourcing relationships and shared services organizations, Governance WorkPlace enables a new, deeper level of governance capability and improved performance.

Organizations with complex, blended delivery models for their internal IT and business processes often struggle to effectively manage internal and outsourcing relationships.  Combine that with a geographically dispersed governance group and multiple delivery locations, and it becomes that much more difficult. Governance WorkPlace addresses these challenges and is designed to:

• Streamline processes: Automates transactional governance activities with built-in calculations tied to the business case and leveraging workflow capabilities.
  
  
• Mitigate risks and increase value: Savings of 2-5 percent of total contract value through improved operational efficiency and management.  Reduces risk through compliance and audit management.
  
  
• Empower decision making and improve collaboration: Quickly accesses shared services and outsourcing governance scorecards with status indicators and trends needed to make critical decisions.

The solution combines EquaTerra’s proven methodology for effectively managing internal services with Microsoft’s SharePoint, PerformancePoint and SQL Server – tools that many organizations have already licensed and are using – to deliver a unique blend of recognized best practices and demonstrated business intelligence capabilities, creating a collaborative workspace for the governance team and other users.
