New Application Portfolio Management solution launched at Micro Focus World 2007
CEO Stephen Kelly explains how the new Application Portfolio Management solution from Micro Focus provides the visibility needed to manage IT effectively.

Speaking at the launch of the new Micro Focus APM solution, Stephen Kelly had this message for companies facing the challenges of managing large and complex application assets:

IT executives in major corporations are often flying blind. Strategic decisions on IT investment are being made without the support of fact-based intelligence on the make up and costs of the IT infrastructure.

This is particularly startling considering what CIOs are being asked to deliver. Industries are experiencing widespread consolidation and have to deal with sweeping new regulations. Companies are under pressure from competition to improve services. CEOs are demanding increased change and greater value from their company’s IT systems.

The Micro Focus APM solution provides IT managers with the knowledge needed to deliver the innovation the business expects. It provides precise visibility into key operational factors, such as which applications are providing real business value, which are consuming the bulk of their precious resources, how big or complex they are and where the dependencies or compliance issues lie.

CEOs and CFOs couldn’t operate without their dashboards to monitor business performance. But there hasn’t been one for managing the business of IT. So CIOs and IT Managers have had to fly blind – until now. Micro Focus APM is the dashboard IT executives need to manage their business and align IT strategy with business goals.

Taking the risk out of change, accelerating business understanding, and promoting strategic action are what the Micro Focus APM solution is all about.
