Innovation is the reason many CIOs and other IT leaders want a 100% view into all IT projects and application maintenance work. Without detailed tracking of and insight into the plans for and status of projects and applications, IT will not be able to consistently make well-informed decisions about how they can most effectively support the most strategic business initiatives with innovative new capabilities.
Most CIOs are all too familiar with the statistic that 70% or more of IT resources go into the black hole of maintaining existing applications and systems-because they live it every day. Small changes and enhancements to existing systems go on daily, nearly unchecked and often without regard to whether the application continues to deserve the attention paid to it. Meanwhile, the new strategic projects that make up the smaller share of most IT portfolios are at greater risk of running late or not meeting expectations, because no one has a clear understanding of how they can redirect budgets or resources from maintenance efforts to service them.
That's an untenable situation. The good news is that it doesn't have to be that way.
Innotas offers the first on-demand portfolio management application specifically designed for IT, including both Project Portfolio Management and Application Portfolio Management capabilities. For the first time, IT leaders can realize the benefits of these features in an easy-to-use, low-cost, software-as-a-service offering, rather than spend a fortune on complex installed applications-and the army of consultants that come with them.
With Innotas' enterprise-class PPM solution, IT leaders gain complete visibility into every step of every IT activity, from the first project request through the entire application lifecycle.
- Project Portfolio Management enables IT organizations to prioritize IT project portfolios to align with strategic business goals.
- Application Portfolio Management helps organizations understand the cost (in budget and resources) to support applications and which applications no longer support strategic objectives.
- Both Project and Application Portfolio Management include flexible hierarchical portfolios that enable users to quickly model their business scenarios based on customer-specific metrics or relationships.
- Resource Management provides a full view into overall IT capacity for staffing projects and applications, even at the earliest planning stages.
