iEA06 Turn your IT Plan into a Competitive Advantage
William Wimsatt, Principal, Wells Landers Group
Every successful organization engages in strategic planning - yet too often the best laid plans remain just that: plans. Enterprise architecture and IT portfolio management assure a good balance of IT investments, programs and projects, and optimal resource allocation to align operational decisions with overall business strategy. This session focuses on the new IBM(R) Rational(R) System Architect(R) and IBM(R) Rational(R) Focal Point(TM) integration and the resulting empowerment of successful and practical IT planning.
iPPM09 IT Portfolio Management
William Wimsatt, Principal, Wells Landers Group
A portfolio management system can help Federal and commercial organizations realize and balance the benefits of their IT investments, identify and mitigate risks, and keep scopes realistic and managed. A combination of IBM(R) Rational(R) System Architect(R), IBM(R) Rational(R) Focal Point(TM), project management, and Cognos are used to demonstrate the concepts.
PPM13 Metrics for Measuring IT Portfolio Value
Bill Degeneres, Principal, Wells Landers Group
This seminar identifies candidate metrics of a practical IT portfolio management system that provide executives with objective candidate measures and assessments of delivered value (both projected and actual), efficiency of resources employed, and identification and assessment of potential obstacles.
EAM03 Techniques for Measuring Enterprise Architecture Success and Value
Bill Degeneres, Principal, Wells Landers Group
Any commercial and government organization accountable to stakeholders, must demonstrate value for any proposed new or changed activity, process, system, or asset. Stakeholders, who often include the CIO, business sponsors, and the CFO, must be convinced this value is obvious, tangible, and not just perceived - especially if the price tag guarantees a strain on already scarce resources of time, people, and money. This seminar introduces a methodology for deriving value from a current and proposed enterprise architecture and its contributing processes, procedures, and systems.
