STATE3 - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

STATE3 is a web-based Organisational Technology Intelligence (OTI) platform designed for IT leadership at complex organisations, including local and central government, tertiary education, primary industries, and ports and logistics. It consolidates applications, infrastructure, business processes, ownership, vendors, contracts, and risk into a single underlying graph model. Rather than maintaining siloed spreadsheets, CMDBs, architecture diagrams, and risk registers, teams work from one live, continuously updated source of truth that spans on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments.

STATE3 covers five integrated disciplines: IT Financial Management (ITFM), Application Portfolio Management (APM), Risk Management, Change Process Management, and IT Service Management (ITSM). ITFM tracks technology spend across licences, infrastructure, and vendor contracts, with financial forecasting, cashflow insights, and total cost of ownership by vendor. APM provides a comprehensive application inventory with integration and dependency mapping, application-to-business-capability mapping, and current-to-future-state modelling to surface redundant or underutilised applications. Risk Management attaches risks to any entity in the model, supported by a customisable risk matrix, treatment tracking, and a dashboard with 16 configurable widgets. Change Process Management traces ripple effects across 14 or more entity types before a change is approved, with configurable workflows, approvals, and stakeholder assignments. ITSM links business services to underlying applications and infrastructure through a single catalogue, with request handling for organisations without a dedicated service desk. Enterprise Architecture modelling is supported through ArchiMate, TOGAF, and Zachman frameworks, with target-state workspaces and infrastructure dependency diagrams.

Data ingestion in STATE3 uses scheduled connectors from source systems, bulk import, and direct editing. Automation does not overwrite human-edited fields, and provenance and confirmation timestamps are recorded per fact. AI assistants connect to the platform over the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard, with confirmed integrations including Claude and Microsoft 365 Copilot. Queries are answered in plain English, grounded in the organisation's own data, and scoped to each querying user's existing permissions. Every discipline — ITFM, APM, Risk, Change, and ITSM — is queryable through MCP, keeping organisational knowledge governed and accessible without distributing copies of the model.
