All Business Applications Are Not Born Equal: Drive Better Business Outcomes by Streamlining Support of Your Application Portfolio | White Paper
In a recent HP survey, almost half of the CEOs and senior business leaders agreed that their corporate IT departments have trouble keeping pace with rapidly changing demands of the business. Further, they stated the bulk of their IT spending is directed to “keeping the lights on.” Most companies find it difficult to redirect resources away from operations and toward innovation and enabling change. This white paper discusses how to reverse that situation and drive better business outcomes by streamlining support of the application portfolio.
The paper first discusses the situation that causes IT organizations to play defense (measuring success in terms of uptime, for example), It also points out the primary factor that leads to increased costs, complexity, and risk as well as limiting the ability to drive business growth.
It then moves to a discussion of a solution framework to gain control over the applications environment. The framework, part of HP’s Applications Management Services, takes a unique approach using intellectual property, best practices, and global economies of scale that result in improving the performance and value-to-cost proposition for a company’s applications.
This paper explains how to rethink the approach to managing an application portfolio in a way that positions an IT department to drive innovation and change required for long-term success.
