Today, multinational organizations are looking to optimize their IT offerings to make them more efficient, while also reducing associated costs. IT benchmarking can help you gather valuable inputs and tackle critical initiatives to help you kickstart radical modifications. Benchmarking allows you to gain a high-level view of your IT systems so you can make informed decisions and work towards an overall healthy IT strategy.
As a consulting firm that specializes as an IT benchmarking service provider, Flatworld Solutions is continuously involved in improving, tweaking, and bettering the IT processes of our clients. We know that IT complexity is increasing daily, and our efforts allow you to maintain transparency while working with multiple real-life challenges.

IT Operations Benchmarking

We can compare your IT overhead costs for the above variables, as well as benchmark number and type of service disruptions allowing you to understand how you stack up against the competition.
IT Service Management Benchmarking
For most of our clients, their IT service management (ITSM) processes are critical to their reputation as a business. Customer loyalty today is extremely fickle, and even if you develop great products or services, but deliver a sub-par service experience, your customers will quickly move on.
Service management is therefore driven by the right processes, the right people, and overall company productivity, which in turn drives revenue generation. Our IT benchmarking services are vital for you to find growth opportunities, empower your IT department to take better action, and drive productivity. Benchmarks we can provide include -

We help you improve call duration which can impact every other aspect of your operations
User/customer satisfaction

Resolution times
We help you improve complaint resolution times by benchmarking against the best in the industry
IT Software Development Benchmarking
Evaluating and benchmarking your IT software development can often be a complicated process. Different companies have different levels of proficiency, maintain a different number of software development projects or products to support, and might have teams who work on the software development lifecycle (SDLC) in an entirely different way. Therefore, a benchmark that applies to a single project might not apply to others. Our IT benchmarking services, therefore, cover a wide variety of variables and draw from our industry experience to develop the following benchmarks -
Project characteristics
Development route maps and goal setting
Time spent on innovation and natural thinking
Defects/bugs avoided during development
Development agility
Development process
Ability to incorporate improvements with multiple releases
Digital Transformation Benchmarking
Digital transformation is extremely critical nowadays, as adopting new technology and new modern processes are critical to remaining competitive and pose a challenge to one's competitors. At the same time, many IT departments struggle with digital transformation for their companies—in fact, lesser than 30% of organizations actually succeed in their transformation efforts.
For a successful digital transformation, you need the right roadmap and understand your current state of readiness. Instead of relying on traditional IT benchmarks, Flatworld helps you understand each transformation measure and provide a deeper insight into your pursuit for digital transformation, including -
Overall scope for transformation
Innovation excellence
Current usage of new technologies and dependence
User engagement through technological means
Availability & reliability of technology stacks

Benefits Of Benchmarking IT Services
With more than 20 years of industry experience as an IT benchmarking service provider, we can confidently state that very few investments in your IT department can truly compete with the ROI of benchmarking. Some of the key benefits of IT benchmarking include -
Reduction In Total Cost Of Ownership
Understanding the trade-off between cost and quality is the most essential step towards optimizing your IT model. If costs are too low, you risk sacrificing the service quality. Conversely, if you push for too high a quality, costs will go through the roof.
Our IT benchmarking helps you identify cost-reduction strategies that do not affect the overall quality of service. This in turn leads to enhanced customer satisfaction while simultaneously reducing associated costs.
Make Your Employees More Productive
According to a recent study, most skilled workers lose almost 33 hours of productive time per year due to IT outages, system breakdowns, and hardware and software failures. Our services help you identify the bottlenecks in providing high-quality services, and in turn, returns productive hours to your employees.
Improved Customer Satisfaction
For all service delivery organizations, quality of service, as measured by customer satisfaction, is the most important benchmark. Customer satisfaction is a direct measure of how an organization conducts its daily business and how reactionary it is in terms of engagement and service delivery.
Customer satisfaction and cost per ticket are therefore essential and are in constant tension, and most organizations struggle to maintain a balance between both. We know that for all our clients, cost matters, and we help them interpret customer satisfaction while keeping in mind the various spending constraints for your business.
Demonstrable ROI
Most companies and departments track their ROI on an ongoing basis and use it to make intelligent investment decisions while justifying new expenditures. Yet fewer than 10% of all organizations can effectively demonstrate their exact ROI.
We help analyze various underlying benchmarking metrics that help you calculate the ROI of your IT support such as first-level resolution rates, tickets eliminated, productive time returned to users, etc.
Top-of-the-line Performance
At FWS, we follow industry best practices that are suitably integrated into your IT support organization, allowing you to rely on our benchmarks to gain significant customer satisfaction while producing a measurable ROI for you to take on new challenges.
