Application Portfolio Management: Delivering Improved Functionality to Drive Efficiency, Innovation and Growth
Today’s technology and application providers are under pressure to deliver functionality that:
- Drives efficiencies, innovation and growth
- Keeps costs under control
Current market dynamics only add to the challenge:
- Globalisation and the accelerating pace of change have created a mass of complex business, technolog and management requirements.
- An overwhelming mix of technologies and applications must be aligned with business and IT strategies and requirements.
- Profitability and growth pressures have never been greater.
Without a clear view of application performance, controlling costs and improving ROI is difficult. APM is one of the best tools for evaluating, balancing and enhancing the value of application portfolios and supporting fact-based decision-making. Being able to recognise and reduce the amount of time and money spent maintaining non-essential applications can significantly free up budgets for IT innovation.
This whitepaper provides a framework for implementing an APM program that will enable your organisation to continuously:
- Monitor and analyse the impact of technology and application changes
- Align changing business and technology objectives
- Reduce portfolio complexity and cost of ownership
- Increase return on portfolio investment and performance
