Pre-Built BCG Matrix Structure
The template includes a complete, professionally formatted BCG matrix with quadrant logic, sample IT entries, and calculation placeholders-saving planning time and improving accuracy so your team defintely starts with the right structure. Use it to avoid building charts from scratch.

Helps Identify Profit-Generating Products
The matrix helps you spot which IT services reduce cost or enable revenue (cash cows) versus costly experiments (question marks), so you can reallocate budget to high-impact systems and retire underperforming tech.
Clear Visualization of Market Positioning
This template visualizes each system's position on growth and relative share using clean quadrant graphics so stakeholders see why a database is a Star or why an old app is a Dog-clarity that speeds decisions and alignment.
