4 Benchmark Methodology Overview Kickoff Data Collection Data Validation and Normalization Database Analysis Peer Comparison Executive Action Plan Results The methodology employed by Gartner analysts enables a composite overview of IT performance to be collected and evaluated against peer organizations. A six-phase process is undertaken, starting with data collection of workload and cost information for each functional area chosen. Once collected, this information is verified, corrected and normalized to ensure valid and equitable comparisons to other organizations with similar sizes, business functions, architectures and configurations. A key component of this analysis is the utilization of one key metric for each functional area that leads to the formation of the Executive Report. Page 3

8 About the Total IT Expenditure Assessment The Rapid Assessment for Total IT Expenditure provides a health check for H-Q s IT environment. This is a high-level look at the current environment and covers a 12-month time period. A number of functional areas have been evaluated. For each functional area selected in this analysis, a composite peer group is formed for comparison purposes. The enterprises selected have key workload characteristics similar to those of H-Q. Each functional area has a different selected peer group. The selection of the different peer groups enables Gartner Measurement to compare H-Q with other enterprises based on key metrics. These key metrics are used to provide an indication of the cost-efficiency of the H-Q IS organization. Page 7

9 About the Total IT Expenditure Assessment The metrics listed for the areas selected for inclusion by represent a portion of the aggregated metrics for each key IT functional area that we believe will provide the health check information that CIOs and senior IT managers require, at a minimum, to develop an IT baseline for those functional areas. These metrics set the stage for a consistent methodology enabling the accurate identification of costs and workload attributes as well as an internal and external comparative analysis to determine how well each of the selected functional areas is performing.

12 Objectives of the Analysis To establish a baseline for IT expenditures and cost-efficiency To provide a comparative analysis of expenditures against other enterprises with similar workloads, complexity and performance characteristics To provide a health check of the IT services delivered to the IT end-user community To identify potential opportunities for increased IT efficiency To offer recommendations to increase IT efficiency and effectiveness To create a foundation for a continuous program Page 11

13 Scope Functional Areas Studied IT Help Desk Distributed Computing Benchmark analysis covers the period from January 2003 to December $60.9M of s expenditures have been included in the consensus model. Page 12

14 Scope Peer groups Chosen on basis of comparable workload that maps to s scope of support, defined differently for each service being benchmarked Each peer group chosen based on its workload profile: IT Help Desk Number of inbound calls, including abandoned, and the overall complexity of the environment as defined by the type of calls taken Distributed Computing Number of end users supported, number of devices in the LAN environment and complexity of the environment Page 13

15 Executive xsummary Page 14

16 Key Summary Observations Overall, costs are 22.9% lower than what the peer groups would spend to support the same workload ($60,892K vs. $79,010K). Costs are lower than the previous benchmark in the 2 areas reviewed. Networking costs have been removed from the analysis Overall personnel costs compare favorably with the workload peer group. But there is considerable variance in staffing levels. Total FTE counts are 21.8% higher than the workload peer (365.8 FTEs vs FTEs). Total FTE costs in the areas reviewed are 3.4% lower ($29,610K vs. $30,650K). Average cost per FTE is 21% lower than the workload peer group ($80,944 vs. $102,053) In addition, Hydro Quebec uses a 35 hour workweek, which could account for up to a 12% differential in total headcount, since most organizations in the data base and the peer groups utilize a 40 hour workweek. The workload peer group is made up of primarily US companies since these provided the best workload match. The variance does not take into account the difference between US and Canadian salaries. Page 15

17 Key Summary Observations Complexity is high in the Distributed Computing area and has increased since the last analysis (11 vs. 8.8 in 99). Best Practices scores are higher than the database average in most areas. Operations management is a strength and inventory management is a weakness. End User satisfaction is very good and much improved over the previous analysis. Page 16

18 Total Cost by Technical Area Observations The aggregate IT consensus model costs for for those modules included in the analysis (at $60.9M vs. $79M) are $18.1M (or 22.9%) lower than what the composite peer group would spend to perform s workload.

Negative scores are below the database average and the positive score is above average. The numbers on the left are the actual scores of H-Q and the corresponding db average. Page 25

27 Observations What s Good has done a good job in taking real action to address the previous benchmark s issues and have made improvements across the board. Costs Overall cost performance is better than, or in alignment with, all the peers and the database average. Cost has improved over the previous assessment ( 99 ITOA) and come into better alignment with the peer groups and database average. Support Quality User satisfaction has significantly improved over the previous assessment. The current environment seems more stable than in recent years and is contributing to this. Currently the quality scores shown a marked improvement in quality of services and user satisfaction and exceed the database average in all major areas. Users consider the Help Desk their Best Source of Technical Support as well as their Best Source of How To Support. This is uncommon with most organizations. Page 26

28 Observations What s Good Best Practices There are a number of areas that can be considered best practices in the Hydro- Quebec IT organization. Customer Service scores are strong with a score of 7.2 vs. 5.4 for the db. This has helped to reduce costs in the help desk area with superior leveraging of technologies and processes. Operation Management scores are strong and considered a best practice as well at 6.8 vs. 5.9 for the db. Strengths include security and standards compliance. Security efforts are a best practice with a score of 7.5 vs. 3.8 for the db. Most organizations are not as thorough where security is concerned. Overall Change Management score is very good with a score of 7.4 vs. 5.9 for the db. Processes and technologies are superior in this area, contributing to overall lower costs while sustaining higher quality scores. Change management technology and change management processes are very strong with scores of 6.1 vs. 3.9 and 9.0 vs. 6.9 respectively for the db. Combine this with superior deskside support (as identified by end users) and this area can be considered a best practice for (Change management includes Processes, Deployment, Retirement & Moves, Technology). Page 27

29 Observations What s Good End Users The majority of end user s prefer the help desk. 60% say that it is the best source of technical support vs. 52% for the workload peer, 58% for the utility peer and 50% for the db. 77% say that it is the best source of how to support vs. 18% for the workload peer, 21% for the utility peer and 23% for the db. This directly contributes to reduced downtime and lost productivity for the given complexity. Page 28

30 Observations What to Review As can be expected, there is always room for improvement. The following pages list the more significant points to review and address going forward. There are several areas where could gain significant improvement in processes, automation and integration. Asset Administration with a score of 5.4 vs. 5.5 for the db. Hardware Inventory Management score is a 4.2 vs. 5.5 for the db. Software Inventory Management score is a 4.2 vs. 4.0 for the db. Lifecycle Management score is a 5.5 vs. 5.7 for the db. All training with a score of 2.7 vs. 3.4 for the db. End User Training score is a 1.7 vs. 2.7 for the db. IS Training score is a 3.7 vs. 4.1 for the db. Page 29

31 Observations What to Review Staffing levels remain higher than all the peers and database average. This is a driver of direct costs. Overall Help Desk cost per FTE is lower than the peers and database average. $73,829 vs. $87,942 for the workload peer, which is 16% lower 71.0 FTEs vs FTEs for the workload peer, which is 41% higher Overall costs are 18.2% higher at $5,238K vs. $4,431K Overall Distributed cost per FTE is lower than the peers and database average. $82,656 vs. $104,897 for the workload peer, which is 21% lower FTEs vs FTEs for the workload peer, which is 18% higher Overall costs are 7% lower at $24,372K vs. $26,219K Salary levels remain lower than the peer groups and database average for these of the areas. Hydro Quebec uses a 35 hour workweek, which could account for up to a 12% differential in total headcount, since most organizations in the data base and the peer groups utilize a 40 hour workweek. Page 30

32 Strategies for Improved Performance 1. Asset Management Findings: Best practices as well as analysis show less than optimal performance in most areas of process maturity, automation and integration. Overall score is a 5.4 vs. 5.5 for the database average. Hardware inventory management is an issue with a score of 4.2 vs. 5.5 for the db. Software inventory management score is not great, though higher than the db. Lifecycle Management is issue with a score of 5.5 vs. 5.7 for the db. Non-optimal controls and tracking can have a wide-ranging impact to support, maintenance and costs. Asset Administration Comparisons 7.5 vs. 6.4 Vendor Management vs vs vs. 4.0 Procurement Life-Cycle Management Software Inventory Management vs. 5.5 Hardware Inventory Management DBA Page 31

33 Strategies for Improved Performance 1. Asset Management (Cont) Findings: Operations staff is higher than the peers and database average. This is in part due to issues around management and tracking of IT assets. Lifecycle management is basic. This contributes to: An aging inventory and cascading of assets resulting in greater support and maintenance resource requirements (from deskside support to the help desk), A growing inventory of disparate equipment that becomes harder and harder to track And a negative impact to productivity as equipment fails or becomes unable to perform to even-increasing requirements. Actions: Fully funding, implementing, integrating and actually leveraging an ITIL system will greatly improve your asset management issues. Build a plan to improve key processes in critical need of improvement. These include all aspects of hardware and software inventory management, lifecycle management as well as procurement. Leverage the Governance Council in your efforts in building a consolidated and centralized asset management foundation. Page 32

34 Strategies for Improved Performance 2. Distributed Complexity Findings: Overall complexity has risen significantly since the previous benchmark. Currently complexity is 11 (high) vs. 8.8 ( 99). Staffing levels are higher in all areas reviewed to support the elevated complexity in the environment at current quality of support. Hardware and software complexity is higher than the database average. Low HW and SW best practice scores, describing processes and technologies, are contributing to the negative impact of the higher complexity. has higher complexity than the average utility organization (8.8) and higher than all but 1 peer in the utility peer group. Actions: Establish enforceable enterprise-wide standards and desktop policies that are uniform, clearly defined, are in accordance with best practices and are capable of having a cost cutting impact to the enterprise. Get approval to enforce these standards and policies at the executive level, doing so will go a long way to reducing asset costs, repair costs, troubleshooting time and support demands. Leverage the Governance Council in your efforts. Investigate other ways of reducing complexity in the Distributed environment. Page 33

35 Strategies for Improved Performance 3. Training Findings: Training is lacking enterprise-wide for. 72% of users receive no training for standard desktop applications 60% of users receive no training for alternative standard app training 56% of users receive no training for custom business applications End user training best practice is a 1.7, which is lower than the industry low database average of 2.7 and IS training is a 3.7 vs. 4.1 for the database average. Lack of effective training will ultimately impact efficiency, productivity and drive up support costs. Percent of users recieving no training Form al DBA Cus tom DBA Alternative DBA Standard Busines s Standard Apps Apps Apps Page 34

36 Strategies for Improved Performance 3. Training (Cont) Actions: Review the specific training needs of the various users and departments Make training a priority and allocate the proper funds Establish training programs to meet the needs of the users Best-in-class organizations spend 7 percent to 10 percent of IT payroll on training. A spending level of 5 percent can ensure a well-trained staff. Technical IT training programs typically yield 25 percent to 75 percent ROI of the initial investment. For every thousand dollars spent on training, the organization adds $250 to $750 to the bottom line. Page 35
