IT Portfolio Management
Instantis’ flagship software solution for managing the business process of software and systems development is called EnterpriseTrack™ PMO Edition. Following are key advantages of using EntepriseTrack™ PMO Edition in IT and broader PMO environments:
- EnterpriseTrack PMO Edition is uniquely suited as a platform for standardizing project portfolio management across the enterprise.
- PMO Edition is the best option in the marketplace for fulfilling the distinct requirements of IT, Lean and Six Sigma project portfolios in a single system.
- PMO Edition is proven “business scalable” along the dimensions of deployment scope (e.g. number of users and projects), PPM maturity levels, and PMO span of control.
- EnterpriseTrack PMO Edition is EASY.
- PMO Edition easy to deploy quickly on-premise or at the INSTANTIS carrier-grade data center (be up and running in days not months)
- PMO Edition is easy to use and administer
- PMO Edition is easy to afford. TCO is much lower compared to traditional services-intensive IT PPM systems because rich out-of-the-box functionality is available via configuration settings not customization.
- EnterpriseTrack PMO Edition addresses key CIO drivers for improved business insight and strategy alignment.
- State-of-the-art personalizable dashboards and reports put critical information at the finger tips of executives and project result stakeholders.
- EnterpriseTrack PMO Edition’s unique Strategy Manager module ensures that IT projects are tightly aligned with business priorities.
- EnterpriseTrack PMO Edition provides several unique integrated features and functional modules not available in competitive solutions in areas such as resource management (e.g. resource heat maps), integrated training administration (Training Manager), and voice-of-the-business online survey management (VoC Manager).
Business Drivers for IT PPM Software:
- No easy way to understand the true status of IT-related projects anytime, anywhere across the organization
- No easy way to align changing business needs and technology priorities
- No central repository for sharing project and program information, processes and best practices based on prior product development cycles
- Inadequate development life-cycle workflow support and a lack of process clarity and role accountability
- No reliable way to drive adherence to a consistent development framework or methodology
- No easy way to get new team members up and running more quickly with the tools, guidance and project artifacts they require
- Unproductive time spent on ineffective manual tasks like finding people, pulling together simple standard reports, and communicating assignments
