Building Application Assets
HOPEX IT Portfolio Management offers the possibility of describing simple applications or more complex applications via the use of application systems.
Applications and application systems of the organization can be created by the Application Portfolio Manager or Application Owner.
Application owners can create new applications directly, without using a workflow.
Application portfolio managers can create applications and specify the owners of those applications. They can then initiate update workflows (functional and technical) so that the application owners can complete the data for their applications.
See:
Creating an Application
To inventory applications, HOPEX IT Portfolio Management provides a navigation tree.
Depending on whether you are an application owner or an application portfolio manager, you can access applications from the Applications navigation pane of the ITPM desktop.
Under Applications, a drop-down list classifies the applications according to the following criteria:
• All applications of the repository
• Applications without owner
• Applications outside portfolio (those not belonging to any inventory portfolio)
• Applications of the connected user portfolio
• etc.
