San Francisco, CA, November 08, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Nouri Associates, a leader in IT Service Management Consulting, Research and Advisory, and Training has announced the availability of a new IT performance management system called “Metricus” which allows IT organizations to quickly incorporate a best practice solution for analyzing IT Service performance.

One of the challenges IT organizations face is finding an effective and efficient way to measure performance, risk, quality, and compliance while working towards a successful ITSM implementation. NAI recognized this need and sought out a solution that would help organizations lower costs by providing:

• Improved data quality from the IT operational systems
• Lower costs associated with data collection for IT Service Metrics
• Streamlined development and delivery process for presenting IT Service Metrics

Focus on IT Governance. Another exciting aspect of “Metricus” is the ability to help IT organizations with their IT Governance initiatives by:
• Facilitating alignment of IT Services with Business Strategies
• Providing faster, more efficient, and consistent communications of IT Service Performance
• Increasing visibility into the impact of business changes on IT Services
• Enhancing budget, planning and forecasting of IT Services
• Increasing accountability within IT, and between IT and the Business

“You can’t manage what you can’t measure. IT Performance Measurement is fundamental to successful IT Governance, and a pragmatic metrics & measurement capability is a prerequisite for an effective IT Service Management program” said Mr. Nouri, President and Managing Principal at NAI.

“Metricus” is available now. Organizations interested in seeing an online demo of “Metricus” and discussing the value of this new tool for their IT organization; can contact Nouri Associates by phone at 1.888.556.3618 Ext 650 or email to info@nouriassociates.com.
