Guide to Benchmarking Software

Applying enterprise-wide benchmarking solutions measures effectiveness and improves performance


Benchmarking software can provide an accurate picture of the health of your organization. From benchmark solutions that measure overall company performance, to those that specifically target such areas as financials, product quality, computer hardware, software or entire computer systems, you'll find benchmarking software that's designed to address a variety of individual business needs.

Some benefits of using benchmark application programs to analyze and assess the effectiveness of your business include:

1. A better understanding of your computer, computer network and/or software programs and how they work

2. The ability to accurately diagnose and correct hardware or software issues that may be negatively impacting your business

3. An accurate interpretation of financial statement data, as well as comparative industry analysis which helps you assess developing trends and improve company performance

4. Automated data collection, analysis and reporting, and administration of multiple tasks, processes and operations across the enterprise

5. The ability to plan and implement effective company strategy for optimal business performance through benchmark solutions


Action Steps

The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Use computer benchmarking software or simple software benchmarks to analyze PC performance Many benchmarking solutions are available which address either hardware or software issues that can cause IT inefficiency and poor performance. These allow you to choose the individual area you'd like to test

I recommend:  PC Diag Inc. offers a diagnostic software suite used for troubleshooting hard drive problems that affect computer performance. Softpedia also carries the CPU Free BenchMark software download, a free application which also diagnoses various hard drive problems. SignaCert produces system-monitoring software for computer application programs, and Quest Software provides scalability testing software for your company's database system.

Consider freeware that combines both PC benchmark software and software benchmarks Some benchmark testing software measures both hardware and software in a single application package--and much of it is freeware.

I recommend:  Freshdevices and PC PitStop offer freeware versions of benchmarking software that provide a full range of reporting services to measure hardware and application performance.

Check out performance benchmark software to test your company's overall health Enterprise-wide benchmarking applications provide comprehensive analysis of your company's overall business process integration and can help you make changes needed to ensure success.

I recommend:  QPR offers a complete performance management and business benchmark application, and Beyond SQL provides an advanced benchmarking engine--one of the more powerful web-based benchmarking software solutions available.

Visit software comparison sites that offer a variety of complimentary benchmark solutions Quite a few websites feature free benchmarking software of various types, enabling you to locate specific tools to address your business's needs while being kind to your budget.

I recommend:  SoftList and downloadsofts.com are software comparison sites which offer benchmark software download. All applications available on these sites are freeware.
