PPM (Project Portfolio Management) provides insight into application development from the planning and strategic level. It ensures transparency in investment and capital decisions, manages the risks of those investments, and maximizes return on investments.
However the PPM solution doesnt provide the EXECUTION PLATFORM for the strategically funded projects that are either developed internally or outsourced. If PPM is a solution to enable senior management to minimize risks and do a strategic investment, the SDLC framework enables the PMO office to execute the projects and track it at minute details. Thus to understand the value of the business derived from application development, it is important to incorporate a framework that enables the organization to have a feedback loop and understand what is happening to promote tighter control.
Corporations that is managing everything internally can use a product like Digité Enterprise to get an end-to-end handle on their IT investments. If they are already using the PPM tool then they can connect the SDLC framework of Digité Enterprise to the earlier procured PPM tool.
Corporations outsourcing the application development can mandate theservice providers to use Digité Enterpise so that they can monitor what service providers do to its projects and establish and monitor service-level agreements (SLAs).
On the other hand, Service Providers can use Digité Enterprise for a better execution ofthe outsourced deal and go up the ladder of relationship management. These service providers can also use the PPM capability to get an insight into their own business.
Its all about bringing the board room and shop floor on the same plane. And then the CIO can demonstrate better visibility, drawn from dashboards, to executive management about what’s really happening in IT.
Digité Enterprise provides a unique combination of PPM and Collaborative development with seamless SLA management. This enables the business value of application development to be owned by the business.
