Health Information Systems & Technology Benchmarking Association

The Benchmarking Network, Inc. is an international resource for business process research and metrics. We lead studies with over 140,000 process leaders in over 165 countries. We provide benchmarking training and research to individual companies, professional and trade associations, and industry and process based groups. Since 1992, our over 300 benchmarking studies have spanned virtually all processes and industries to identify measures and collect data to identify best practices.

Benchmarking Databases

Tap into our existing databases of over 300 studies that are available to assist in jump-starting your benchmarking efforts. Since no database can cover all needs, we also support more customized research activities.

The Benchmarking Network has conducted over 3,000 site visits with companies to collect best practice information.
