IT Investment Outsourcing - SeaQuation provides corporations with the opportunity to centralise and outsource the IT Investment Office function. On behalf of the customer, SeaQuation monitors and analyses the movements in the risk-adjusted value over the economic useful life of the investment (from project selection to post mortem evaluation). Based on extensive R&D within a real-life laboratory (ING as incubator) and long-term exposure to INGs internal best practices (credit control, investment banking, operational risk management and actuarial), SeaQuation has developed a broad range of IP protected anlytical tools, algorithms, and methodologies to demonstrate IT's contribution to the value creation process of its corporate customers.

IT Investment Portfolio Support If full outsourcing or co-sourcing of the IT investment office function is not required SeaQuation is able to provide ad hoc support to the IT investment decision making process. This may include the independent assessment of business cases submitted for approval, including the full analysis of all relevant financial and risk-based metrics together with, if required, a total portfolio risk and return assessment of the current active portfolio. Such an analysis provides an independent and informed view of the probable extent of value creation or value destruction within the portfolio. An independent review such as this, carried out on a regular basis, can provide significant assurance to the Board that their own governance responsibilities are properly being applied. The resulting analysis enables the right, focused, questions to be asked of the individual components within the portfolio. Our experience with other clients provides confidence that a review such as this is highly likely to identify significant opportunities for cost savings, cost avoidance and re-allocation of project resources. These potential savings, in our experience, vastly outweigh the costs incurred in carrying out the review.

Project CreditRating - The investment office service includes continuous benchmarking against one of the world-wide largest project datarepositories with detailed information on solutions delivery performance and project finance and risk. Through our business partners, such as IBM and Aupec, we also have access to additional data on projects from, for example, the oil and gas industry.
