- Market Definition for Integrated IT Portfolio Analysis

- Businesses are discovering that there is no data-sharing platform that all IT managers can use to unify the disparate financial, project, asset and operations views stakeholders need to communicate across IT silos. Integrated IT portfolio analysis is striving to change that.
Key Findings
- IT managers can communicate more effectively by integrating the IT department's investment, project, asset and service portfolios, and by defining the interdependencies among these views.
- Integrated IT portfolio analysis (IIPA) tools are emerging to support the integration or assembly of investment, project, asset and service portfolios into a set of coordinated views.
- IIPA allows managers to identify and share estimated, additional costs and resource consumption associated with proposed changes to IT.
- IIPA creates improved visibility into the interdependencies among business initiatives, architecture, IT projects and IT operational activities.
Recommendations
- If you have some existing practice in investment, project, asset or IT service portfolio maintenance, then you should engage your current providers in discussions of their plans to support IIPA in the future.
- If IT plays a fundamental role to in your business success, then you should explore IIPA's potential to improve IT effectiveness.
- If IT in your business is mostly considered a cost center, not directly linked to business success, then you should focus on IIPA's ability to facilitate cost optimization and IT modernization.
Analysis
IIPA Provides Visibility Into IT's Contributions to Strategy and Change
IIPA enables the modeling of the impact of changes in the distribution of IT resources, such as time, people and money. To do this effectively, the tools must be able to model alternate investment strategies at different levels of detail or abstraction, and capture impacts over the planning period on value chains, costs and risks.
The capabilities of IIPA are very attractive for businesses that view their IT function as a critical strategic component of the business. In this scenario, IT can enable or cripple the ability to deliver products and services to market and generate revenue.
