PPM For IT


There is no doubt that the Information Technology department has a huge influence on the company’s performance, in fact, it has become a strategic tool delivering competitive advantage for organizations operating in global markets.

 

The source of business tools and process improvements is usually the IT department,thus managing business requirement in compliance with the department’s objectives can be a difficult task to accomplish.

 

In order to align the business requirements with the department challenges, an initial analysis is highly necessary to create a link between the conceptual part of the solution and the global business strategy by delivering concrete goals and milestones.

IT Department Challenges

The absence of an automated, centralized resource pool to manage resources’ allocations and availability.

The lack of automation in projects, programs or portfolio reporting. Project reports and information are manually generated consuming valuable resource time and delivering inconsistent report information.

The inability to capture project benefits realization.

Project cost management tracking is done manually generating inconsistencies. As project cost data is usually manually transferred from project management to ERP tools, many inconsistencies can be found in reporting.

Because of the manual process of project reporting, data is frequently double handled or entered in different tools and systems, creating an Information duplication and resulting inefficient use of valuable resource time.

The absence of a simple access repository for project related information such as documents, issues, and risks.
