An IT Portfolio Assessment provides information about the health of your IT estate across 6-10 dimensions. We combine EA and IT Service Management with Risk Management to provide comprehensive and powerful CIO, CTO views across your business applications and technology infrastructure no matter how large or complex.
EA provides the business context linking the views to business capabilities and processes, IT Service Management provides the service views.
We have built our own methods for discovery and curation of the information required to compile and to build out up to 50 different stakeholder views of your IT estate quickly (6 weeks for one FTSE 100 business). We use accelerators we have developed from completing assessments for over 50 different companies.
Enterprise Architecture powers this service providing the business context required to make sense of diverse IT portfolios.
Our techniques establish which applications and infrastructure support which capabilities identifying duplication and potential waste.
IT Service Management is used to measure the levels of business support and technical fit are supported by the IT portfolio and how this is projected to look in the future. We assess 20 different service management factors and levels and review if agreed SLAs are achievable and sustainable.
IT Portfolio Assessments can quickly provide views to support rationalisation, removing duplicate applications and infrastructure and can lead to large cost savings. A recent client saved £250K in software licences within 3 months of a portfolio assessment and an overall saving of £1.3M per annum across applications and infrastructure. To put this into perspective that's £3.9M over three years just in savings alone notwithstanding the enduring nature of this work for planning as well as realigning Service Integration Architecture Management and IT support costs.
IT Portfolio Assessments enable your business to plan for IT modernisation and digital transformation by being able to understand and visualise complex portfolios of hundreds of applications, who owns them, what technologies they run on, what data they hold, how many users they support, when licence renewals are scheduled, when these are end of life EOL, technical and business dependencies, compliance and security requirements such as GDPR, PCI, HIPAA and how to manage this going forward through roadmapping and planning.
