Governance with HOPEX IT Portfolio Management
Associated with other HOPEX Suite products, HOPEX IT Portfolio Management enables description of all components involved in management of the enterprise application assets.
Application and technology inventory
HOPEX IT Portfolio Management allows you to collect information relating to your application and technology assets.
To manage a consistent repository of your application assets, HOPEX IT Portfolio Management relies on the following data:
• Life Cycles describing the different states that Technology, Application or Deployment object types can take over a given period.
• Business Processes: a standard business process tree nomenclature is supplied with HOPEX IT Portfolio Management.
• Business lines corresponding to major product segments, distribution channels or business activities, according to enterprises.
• Org-Units of the enterprise.
• Sites hosting applications.
• Business Capabilities of the enterprise.
• Software or hardware Technologies required for operation of applications.
• Editors, suppliers of technologies.
• Costs described based on nomenclature simplifying analysis.
• Functionalities offered by the applications.
• Business Data exchanged between applications.
Tools are proposed to check global consistency of information collected.
Application and technology evaluation
HOPEX IT Portfolio Management enables comparison of applications inventoried on criteria such as cost, use rate or criticality for the enterprise, and proposes different reports for this purpose.
Transforming application and technology assets
HOPEX IT Portfolio Management allows you to plan and follow up transformation of your application and technology assets. You can create transformation scenarios for your application and technology portfolios.
In an application portfolio, an application is described by an initiative which represents possible evolution of the application, allowing us to envisage costs and life cycle linked with this evolution.
Several scenarios can relate to the same application, representing different evolution hypotheses (exclusive between themselves) of the same application.
Scenarios can be created, by selection of a set of initiatives to be achieved, and these scenarios can then be compared.
