The Benchmark Index family is the product of more than a decade of research and methodology development. It is based on the extensive work Ventana Research has done benchmarking thousands of organizations on key business and IT topics to establish baselines for organization success and failure. The Benchmark Index relies on a rigorous methodology to evaluate people, process, information and technology practices in a specific business technology area.

Complementing the Benchmark Index, the Maturity Index uses the baselines established by research to measure the competence of organizations across the people, process, information and technology dimensions by industry and size. By applying the Maturity Index, an organization can rapidly determine how to maximize its performance, enhancing not just its efficiency but its effectiveness achieving its business objectives. And for organizations that want to measure their competency compared to their industry peers, Ventana Research introduces the Vertical Industry Indexes to compare from and also to any sized organization by employee and revenue.

While there are thousands of research surveys and reports that proclaim to have the facts, we have found little to no substantive methodology or proper representation of business and IT that provide any credibility to the research. In light of the fact that the majority of these surveys are used to get an individual’s contact information for marketing and sales purposes respecting little to no privacy ethics and thus this research should be immediately removed for any decision making or discussion value. We offer the Ventana Research Benchmark Index as impartial and authoritative. Any organization looking to assess, validate and improve its business and technology efforts should utilize the Benchmark Index, and the research on which it is based, as a key part of its review of its process and their comparison to the industry for making improvement.

The Benchmark Index family, which uses research baselines to measure and index the competency and maturity levels of organization’s will unveil the Integrated Business Planning Benchmark Index on June 11, 2009 – Register Now.
