Complete Analytical Application for Ivanti Heat

Food for Thought:

• Are you tired of being shot down by IT executives due to a lack of compelling visualization of IT Performance to support your business cases?
• What if you could finally see the bottlenecks in your Assignment & Approval process?
• How about doing all of that with Standard Data Visualization tools you already know and love, such as PowerBI and Tableau?
• Looking for a vendor who can provide you with a broader and deeper view of IT than you ever thought possible?  Looking for SingularIT?

Northcraft Analytics is dedicated to putting robust complete analytical applications and methodologies in the hands of IT management.

To succeed, every function in an organization must establish business goals with specific, measurable target metrics. This is no different for the IT Department. Well-designed metrics serve both as an indicator of progress for management and as a clear prescription for action by front-line IT staff. In order to effectively manage IT infrastructure, a strategic use of metrics is imperative.

Northcraft’s Advanced Metrics for IT Service Management suite places the analytical platform that is available to other critical operational departments in the hands of IT managers. Each of our modules, designed specifically for one of the core IT processes, presents a dashboard of Key Performance Indicators and a suite of standard reports designed to quickly discover the root causes of performance, or lack thereof. The solution also provides an interface for building ad-hoc reports directly in your web browser or in Microsoft Excel™, delivering the most robust set of business intelligence metrics available for IT Service Management.

Move from implementation to value immediately. With the metrics that define IT Service success, managers can immediately target gains.

Each component of the analytics suite is geared toward uncovering value immediately. Dashboards identify problem areas and trends. The Standard Reporting Suite brings the root causes of performance to the surface. The Excel or web-based reporting environment provides the means for simple deeper analysis. The integration with HEAT™ ITSM allows for immediate action on critical items. The end result is an environment where managers can move from idea to value in minutes.

What’s Included:

• Platform Portability – Northcraft provides solutions for market-leading enterprise IT applications.  This is fundamental to our strategy in preventing vendor lock, both from the data visualization provider and the IT vendor.  As long as you’re current on your maintenance or subscription bill, you are free to switch underlying data sources for a fixed 5 day services fee.  For example, you can keep your Northcraft BI solution in place if you switch from Invanti HEAT™ to ServiceNow™.
• Complete Analytical Application with pre-built ETL, Intelligent Data Lake and Multi-dimensional Cubes – We deliver IT Analytics as a solution built upon Microsoft™ BI in the cloud (EC2 or Azure) or on-premises.  Our solution will then be configured to your specific application deployment’s settings and customization.  With implementation effort at only 3-5 days per process area, we’re done before most projects get started.  We provide over 100 pre-calculated Measures and Key Performance Indicators for each process area within the ITIL Service Support, Delivery, Transition & Operations processes that are designed to be external and accurate.
• True Self-Service BI – This phrase will probably raise a few eyebrows due to all of the buzz around self-service BI, so let’s be explicit: No need to write ETL, Calculations, Joins, SQL, Scripting.  Nothing.  Your users will immediately be able to drag and drop what they need into a report/dashboard/visualization to unlock the potential of your analysts.
• Packaged SingularIT™ Content – Northcraft is the only provider of an installable CIO Dashboard, providing you with a 360 Degree View of IT.  Along with our fully configurable CIO Dashboard, we provide a wealth of content in reports and dashboards for each process area, available for both PowerBI and Tableau upon installation.  Feel free to test drive some of our free sample content in the PowerBI store today.
