Capital Planning and Investment Control:
Make the smartest IT capital investments for your strategic plan

Capital Planning and Investment Control (CPIC) is the leadership decision-making process for prioritizing and managing potential IT capital investments within your enterprise. SiloSmashers provides the capabilities needed to improve and manage CPIC, sometimes referred to as IT governance. Offering budget analysis, strategic planning and facilitation support, we help you apply CPIC to reach the best decisions.

Our CPIC specialists are experienced with every phase of the continuing CPIC process:

• Plan – build the business case
• Select – create a project portfolio
• Control – manage IT projects
• Evaluate – review lessons learned

Planning typically involves the preparation of OMB Exhibit 300 business cases.
Our experts provide complete support to help you prepare them.

Based on new and existing business cases, we work with you to identify, analyze and select the IT investments that best support your mission requirements and strategic plan. These comprise your IT project portfolio.

SiloSmashers helps you control your IT investments through timely reviews and analyses to ensure that each project delivers expected benefits while meeting cost, schedule and performance goals.

Evaluations take place as needed after projects are implemented to determine how well they met their objectives. Ongoing evaluations assess overall portfolio and process effectiveness. Lessons learned are then fed back into the process to drive continuous improvement.
