For the executive
Better enterprise decisions. Better business outcomes.
Strategy, investment, risk, money and outcomes in one model inside your Microsoft tenant, so the board pack is a live view and every approval keeps what it was decided on.
In one sentence
AlignX gives the executive team one live view from strategic intent to proven outcome, so any significant decision can be traced to the assumptions that produced it and the result it delivered.

The challenge
The questions the board will ask you.
- Are we still pursuing the right strategy?
- Which strategic initiatives are actually delivering the outcomes they promised?
- Are the programmes we funded spending what we approved?
- Can the organisation realistically deliver the investment portfolio we have approved?
- What could materially prevent us achieving our objectives, and are we inside risk appetite?
- What is coming that we should decide on now rather than later?
If any of these takes a week to answer, the rest of this page is for you.
The solution
What the executive reads.
Board reporting
Thirteen investments, the approved envelope, and what it will really cost.
A live dashboard on the portfolio: thirteen investments, $14.06m approved, $14.475m forecast at completion. Nobody rebuilt it the week before.
Strategy to outcome
Plan, focus area, objective, key result. One line to the amber.
Four of twelve key results at risk on one objective, and the investments that carry it, on the same screen.
Money and variance
Budget, actuals, forecast and variance, rolled up from each investment.
Twelve programmes against a fifty million dollar envelope, each line rolled up from its own projects, out of the records that carry the numbers. One write path, no reconciliation meeting.
Capacity to deliver
Firm load per person per month, against the plan we approved.
One over, nine healthy, three under this month, and a further 1.5 FTE of demand nobody is staffed for. The answer to whether we can absorb this, before the answer is a slipped date.
Enterprise risk
Every risk with its status, source and category, connected to what carries it.
Treating, assessed, monitoring or closed. Architecture review, audit finding, self assessment or incident. Not a heat map on a slide.
Decisions pending
The decisions still open, and what deferring one already cost.
Five sitting under review. Two carrying a waiver to 2027 on a database that is already end of life, which is what doing nothing looks like once it is written down.
Day to day
What changes.
The AlignX technology
Nothing new to govern.
Runs inside Microsoft 365In your tenant, on your Dataverse. Nothing leaves it.
Entra ID governs who sees whatThe roles you already run decide access. No second directory.
Australian data residencyYour Dataverse environment sits in an Australian region. Purview and retention policies apply as they do everywhere else.
Questions
What executives ask us.
What tools does AlignX replace, and what does it integrate with?
AlignX replaces your PPM, enterprise architecture, ERM, GRC and standalone vendor tools with one Enterprise Alignment and Decision Intelligence Platform. It integrates with the systems that stay: ITSM, CMDB, Jira, finance and HR. Most executives consolidate three to five overlapping tools into AlignX in the first 12 months.
What does consolidating onto AlignX actually save us?
The bigger win is indirect: fewer tools mean fewer teams reconciling data, fewer training programmes, fewer integrations to maintain. Your teams stop being systems integrators and start making decisions.
What will actually change in my leadership team meetings after we adopt AlignX?
Your weekly leadership meeting stops being a status report. Because portfolio, risk, resourcing, architecture and benefits sit in one live model, the conversation moves from \"what happened\" to \"what should we do\". You approve investment shifts, resolve dependencies and make trade-off calls in the room, with lineage captured automatically for the board pack.
How do I know the numbers I take to the board are actually true?
Every metric in AlignX links back to its source: the initiative, the risk record, the resource commitment, the contract. No manual roll-ups, no reconciled spreadsheets. When your Chair asks \"how do you know\", you can drill from a board KPI to the underlying record in two clicks, in front of them.
We already invest in Power BI and Copilot. What does AlignX add?
AlignX is the connected enterprise model underneath your Microsoft investment. It maximises what you already own: Power BI dashboards reason over one source of truth instead of six, and Copilot has real connected enterprise data to work with instead of fragments. You get more value from the Microsoft licences you already pay for.
How fast do we see impact at exec level, not just at PMO level?
Executives typically see the first shift within 4 to 6 weeks: a single view of portfolios by risk and status, and a live board pack.
What does my board or audit committee get out of this?
A live, evidence-backed view of strategic execution and risk, refreshed on demand rather than quarterly. Full lineage means audit and assurance conversations are shorter. Several boards use AlignX as their standing enterprise view during meetings, replacing static packs entirely.
