Analyzing an inventory portfolio
HOPEX IT Portfolio Management provides predefined report templates for application portfolio analysis.
Accessing Embedded Reports in a Portfolio
The different report templates proposed as standard by HOPEX IT Portfolio Management are designed to compare initiatives of a portfolio based on specific criteria. Different report types offer different analysis possibilities.
To access existing reports on an application portfolio:
1. Open the properties of the portfolio.
2. Click the drop-down list then Reporting.
You have access to the following reports:
• Cost report: cost analysis of portfolio applications.
• Business capability map: shows the distribution of applications in the business capabilities.
• Gantt Chart: presents the lifelines of three objects
• List of applications: presents functional characteristics of portfolio applications as a matrix.
• Application positioning: shows the distribution of applications with respect to the business function addressed, functionalities covered and the technologies used. This presentation enables rapid identification of applications to be developed.
• Application TIME report: uses the Gartner TIME model to analyze the business value of applications.
• Software technology support alert: used to track the obsolescence of technologies. See also "BDNA properties in HOPEX", page 82.
