Application Portfolio Management

CIBER’s Application Portfolio Management (APM) is a structured approach to identifying the applications you run, categorizing them by functionality, eliminating duplication and prioritizing the investments and effort you’ll make in the future.

An APM assessment gives you:

  • Insight into the business context and use of your applications, so you know what aligns with business strategy and what doesn’t.
  • Measurements of key portfolio attributes, giving you a clear view of business value, technical health, costs, skills, complexity and currency of your systems.
  • An investment strategy and roadmap that gives you objectives to reach for and tactics to meet them.

Each APM engagement is led by an IT strategist or enterprise architect who engages both business and IT resources at your firm. Other CIBER resources contribute as needed, and everyone on the CIBER team takes a business-oriented approach.

We’ll work with your stakeholders to ensue that their needs clearly appear in the applications portfolio assessment and their priorities become IT’s priorities. This improves your application portfolio’s alignment with the business and user acceptance of changes that may result from APM.

Our APM process is thorough. We know what to look for and how to examine every relevant aspect of application value. Plus, CIBER’s APM is comprehensive. It looks at where you stand now and charts a useful roadmap to reach future objectives.  Finally, APM gives you foresight by looking at business challenges you face so that your applications can keep up with them.

Once the APM program is completed, you’ll have the insight necessary to optimize your investment in information technology, ensuring that every IT dollar contributes to achievement of company strategies and objectives. You’ll also have an actionable plan to use moving forward and, if you wish, you can purchase the same assessment tools CIBER uses to make APM an in-house and ongoing activity.

Benefits

Application Portfolio Management will save your company money, help your IT shop keep up with business changes and make your company more effective in everything leaders are trying to accomplish.

Synchronize IT and business priorities. Put your IT spend into applications and projects that deliver the functionality your users need and the profit your stakeholders want.

Reduce development costs. You’ll stop redundant and inefficient development efforts with APM. Most companies cut development expense by some 30 percent or more.

Improve system performance. APM typically delivers a 30 percent boost there, too.

Cut maintenance costs. With APM, you’ll probably retire infrastructure that’s outlived its usefulness and reduce demand for new infrastructure with each new project. Companies typically see maintenance costs drop by 30 percent to 50 percent.

Use IT resources more profitably. According to Harvard Press, organizations that adopt portfolio management realize up to 40 percent more return on investment in their IT staff than companies without APM.

Why CIBER

CIBER’s team has extensive background in APM and proven methodologies for completing your assessment accurately, completely and efficiently. Leverage the best-practices we’ve acquired through on-the-job experience. Our APM is a repeatable, thoroughly tested approach, making it efficient and less complicated for you and your stakeholders. The whole process typically can be conducted in 10 weeks or less.

CIBER listens. We partner with your IT experts and business stakeholders to understand your company needs and evaluate applications with them in mind.

Finally, CIBER will provide IT savings for years to come. We can tailor the APM to meet both needs and budget without sacrificing the necessary steps to deliver value for your business.

No matter what applications you’re running, these vital resources automate the business processes that empower your company to succeed. Applications are business assets — valuable assets — and they should be managed with the same diligence given to financial assets in an investment portfolio.

If your applications aren’t efficient and cost-effective, neither is your business. Make sure all your applications contribute to the bottom line. CIBER’s Application Portfolio Management will show you how.
