Optimize the Business Outcomes of IT

HP's vision “aligns” IT with business, making it possible to respond quickly to shifts in the marketplace and capitalize on change. Business challenges become business opportunities.

Why is this so important? Because, according to IDC, over the next five years, corporations are going to spend three times more on the management and operation of their IT environment than they spend on the acquisition of the technology itself. Three times more.

The fundamental problem is that the technology itself needs to be more self-sufficient. And it needs to require much less labor to manage and more efficient processes to operate. It is only by freeing precious resources to work on new initiatives that IT can help grow a business.

Business Technology Optimization focuses on optimizing areas such as project and portfolio management, application and infrastructure management, and service-oriented architecture (SOA) governance. Integrated with HP Software, it becomes the vehicle for delivering greater control over the impact of business change. More than 90 percent of the U.S. Fortune 100 companies and 75 percent of global Fortune 100 companies rely on HP Software’s solutions to maximize the value of their enterprise management systems.

HP Software as an end-to-end management platform has been shown to reduce downtime and increase staff productivity.

 “The way we now manage change is the secret to our success... said OpenView customer Eivind Holm, of the Oslo Stock Exchange (Børs ASA), noting  “virtually 100% uptime since it went live,” and adding “The whole game has changed completely because now we have an operation we can rely on…”

Combined with HP professional services, HP BTO software lets you see, control and automate a mixed IT environment from any location.  It helps customers manage the delivery of IT services using SOAs and to comply with government regulations such as the American Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which is intended to improve the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures.

HP Software gives IT insight, not just information, with a view that extends beyond failed components to the impact those components have on the business — whether measured by euros or customer experience.

Forrester Research describes HP Software as a "robust and comprehensive" IT asset management solution that is "almost insurmountable in both across-the-board functionality and strategy⁽¹⁾."

HP Software’s comprehensive portfolio of IT services bridges the gap between all three major IT functions — IT strategy, IT applications, and IT operations — so enterprises can compete more effectively, open new markets, capture more customers, and operate more profitably.
