Ny programvara hjälper IT att prestera på topp

STOCKHOLM, 7 juni, 2011 – HP presenterar idag en ny serie mjukvaruprodukter för att produktionssätta, mäta och förbättra IT-verksamheten med branschens bredaste uppsättning av tekniska investeringar och tillgångar.

Teknikchefer kräver standardiserade, effektiva verktyg för att kunna mäta, jämföra och förbättra leveransförmågan. Genom att ha en övergripande syn på leveransen underlättar man för IT-chefer (CIOs) att leverera en Instant-On Enterprise som bakar in tekniken i allt man gör för att leverera tjänster, på en gång, till kunder, anställda, partners och medborgare.

Idag är de flesta nyckeltals indikationer (KPIs) för IT ihopsamlade med olika metoder. Detta skapar en viss komplexitet i styrningen som kan sakta ner processerna och prioriteringarna samt förändra marknadsfokus.

-          Det ligger mycket kunskap bakom nyckeltalen och för att kunna få ut mest värde från denna kunskap krävs att man kan jämföra talen och dra slutsatser baserat på helheten av leveransen. På så vis kan investeringar och fokus läggas på rätt områden för att maximera verksamhetsnyttan, säger Magnus Hillgren Lösningsarkitekt på HP Software.

HP IT Performance Suite inkluderar nya HP IT Executive Scorecard och hjälper IT att leverera mot uppsatta mål genom att man erbjuder CIOs insikter från industrins mest omfattande utbud av lösningar för att hantera och optimera applikationsutveckling, infrastruktur och drift, säkerhet, informationshantering, finansiell planering och administration.

-          Dagens CIO möter ständigt nya utmaningar, blir en allt starkare nyckelperson i företagen och får allt större krav på sig. HP IT Performance Suite är den första mjukvaran som hjälper dem att optimera sina leveranser och säkerställa sina budgetar, säger Magnus Hillgren Lösningsarkitekt på HP Software.

Each product in the HP Software portfolio improves the performance of the discrete IT functions addressed, while the IT Executive Scorecard helps technology executives optimize overall IT investments and outcomes.

The HP IT Executive Scorecard provides visibility into critical performance indicators at cascading levels of IT leadership. Its foundation is the open IT Data Model with built-in capabilities to integrate data from multiple sources, including third-party products, to deliver a single view of IT metrics. Using the scorecard, IT leaders can rapidly measure, benchmark and address performance issues on their organizations’ journey to becoming an Instant-On Enterprise.

”Every CIO needs to do two things: constantly shift resources to support changing enterprise priorities and clearly demonstrate return on IT investment,” said Bill Veghte, executive vice president, Software, HP. ”The HP IT Performance Suite is the first software offering that does both, by putting the power of agility into the hands – and budgets – of IT leaders with real-time insight and optimization of IT investments.”

Evaluate, develop, action!

The IT Performance Suite uses HP’s life cycle approach to software development and management, and integrates industry standards such as the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL). In addition, HP research has identified 150 standard, best-in-class KPIs, more than 50 of which are included in the upcoming release of the HP IT Executive Scorecard.

Through HP’s unique cascading scorecard approach, KPIs are distributed in dashboards that provide real-time, role-based performance insights to technology leadership, allowing alignment across common goals for an entire IT organization.

Expected to be available soon, the CIO Edition Standard is the HP IT Performance Suite’s first persona-oriented solution. It includes the Executive Scorecard along with Financial Planning and Analysis, Project and Portfolio Management, and Asset Manager modules. This edition automatically integrates data from the modules to provide more than 20 best-practice KPIs covering financial and project health, enabling the optimization of IT performance from a business investment point of view.

”Leveraging emerging technologies to drive new business models is becoming my primary focus,” said Alexander Pasik, chief information officer of the world’s largest technical professional association,InstituteofElectricaland Electronics Engineers (IEEE). ”The traditional operational aspects of IT must be streamlined and instrumented, and thus measurable, so as to enable this increasingly necessary function. With IEEE’s planned implementation of the HP IT Performance Suite, I expect to have, for the first time, one complete view of IT’s performance using the indicators that matter most to our business.”
