Application Portfolio Management

Identify, prioritize, & execute initiatives to align software assets with business needs

Application portfolio management (APM) enables your organization to take control of its enterprise applications and the business processes that they automate. With Relativity Technologies, organizations can identify and prioritize modernization decisions in a real business context. And, unlike other solutions, it accelerates the execution of the modernization priorities you choose, like outsourcing or movement to SOA.

With the Application Portfolio Manager™ module of the Modernization Workbench® platform, users gain:

• Profound Value: At a fraction of the cost of existing solutions, Relativity Technologies offers the most cost-effective APM solution on the market.
  
  
• Rapid Installation: Pre-configured tools and templates collect industry-specific business value and application metrics. This allows organizations to quickly visualize the portfolio, identify trends, and make informed decisions on modernization or outsourcing initiatives.
  
  
• Enhanced Flexibility: Users can customize the module's pre-configured dashboards to create tailored views for CIOs, analysts, developers, outsourcing managers, and others. Additionally, streamlined integration with third-party technologies allows users to quickly expand the insights available within the dashboards.
  
  
• Results-Focus: Relativity Technologies addresses the fundamental question that alternatives neglect: 'what next?' Once modernization activities have been prioritized, users can formulate action plans through unparalleled insight into application code. Using the same knowledgebase, the Modernization Workbench accelerates the implementation of these initiatives regardless of the path, including refactoring, SOA enablement, business rule modeling, or redevelopment.

Application Portfolio Manager offers highly customizable, browser-based dashboards of your application portfolio. Information on the cost, value, and risk of your software assets is presented in the right business context to the right level in your organization. CIOs, application managers, analysts, and other users can quickly identify where modernization priorities exist. This dramatically improves IT governance and fast-tracks the realignment of software assets with business needs.

Application Portfolio Manager allows users to quickly 'zoom in' from high-level views to more specific analysis. For instance, a CIO may identify a business process that is a candidate for rationalization. Drilling down reveals a trend of rising complexity levels and diminishing value to the organization. This may lead the relevant application manager to launch modernization activities that address the misalignment between what the business needs and what the related application currently delivers.

Application Portfolio Manager can help managers to better govern outsourcing relationships, or any application management scenario built on service level agreements. For instance, an application manager or analyst must determine whether their applications are managed in line with service level agreements (SLAs). Users can view trended information about cost and complexity levels that help identify where SLAs are not being attained.
