High performance can be achieved by almost any nonprofit organization. Although small nonprofits and arts organizations find it more challenging to express results in a data-driven way, they can develop ways to track and measure almost any activity.

Information technology and information assets are typically substantial, poorly understood, and under-controlled areas of capital investment and expenditure that are growing, not shrinking.
[GAO, p. 10] Despite the problems, however, dollars are one of the few concepts that all parties seem to understand. Studies for over 30 years have consistently indicated that enterprise-level Business-Information Technology (IT) alignment is a pervasive problem. While significant progress has been made to understand alignment, research on IT alignment is still plagued by several by: While researchers have encouraged further examination on the causal links between Information Technology (IT) investments and a firm’s performance, results of empirical studies have been varied.
Measuring the impact of various categories of IT investments (hardware, software and IT services) on banks’ cost efficiencies suggests that “the Productivity Paradox” does not affect all IT investments. Keywords: Information Technology, X-efficiency, internal determinants, Stochastic.

The need for metrics and indicators is underlined by many organizations, such as the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL), ISACA (COBIT 5) and ISO. Although ISO expects a measurement of performance, it does not prescribe any specific indicators.
