With technology automating more core business processes than ever before, IT is no longer a subset of business — it is the business. As a result, CIOs are increasingly being asked to provide information that can hasten decision making, spur growth and reduce risks.
This means that the role of the IT organization is no longer limited to overseeing infrastructure or filling orders for fixes and upgrades. Today's IT must drive business success by helping companies compete more efficiently and cost-effectively, and by making sure IT efforts produce positive business outcomes. HP Software, through HP's acquisition of Mercury, a leader in business technology optimization (BTO) software, helps make these outcomes possible.
By combining the depth of HP Software's operations management portfolio with Mercury's BTO software, HP Software is able to integrate the many building blocks of enterprise IT management into one complete solution.
As a result, companies can enhance the business impact of IT and run IT like a business, not a cost center. Further, companies can now keep IT in close alignment with the needs of the business, while reducing IT costs and speeding the delivery of new services.
HP Software is truly turning IT on its head, enabling IT resources to spend less time managing the infrastructure and more time on what matters most: providing measurable business results.
