GEC NEWS WIREPlatform-as-a-Service’ enterprise management solutions debut at Innovation World 2013 user conference
Software AG has launched two new services – Portfolios Live and Process Live – forming part of the Software AG Live cloud-based suite unifying process improvement, IT portfolio management, agile application development, and application integration. The Platform-as-a-Service offerings debuted at Software AG’s three-day Innovation World 2013 global user’s conference in San Francisco, California, USA.
Portfolios Live is a new cloud-based service that provides CIOs the ability to manage and transform IT landscapes based on comprehensive and accurate budget, regulatory, legal and technical information. Portfolios Live offers a set of pre-configured solutions for specific tasks that enterprise architects and portfolio managers manage on a day-to-day basis. This new solution combines best practices and guidance to collect, connect and assess available IT assets and support both the IT and business decision making needed to transform an organization into a Digital Enterprise.
“Identifying the cost and strategic business support of your IT assets is a fundamental first step on the road to the Digital Enterprise,” said Software AG CTO Wolfram Jost. “Having this service available in the cloud enables organizations to start well informed IT planning at a project level and scale up on demand.”
Process Live, on the other hand, integrates social collaboration with process improvement. Process Live is built on ARIS technology which has shaped the business process management discipline over the last 20 years. It offers customers maximum agility in running process improvement projects when required, without upfront investment or installation bottlenecks. As a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offering, Process Live leads to faster time to value while at the same time reduces total cost of ownership. Giving customers the scalability and flexibility offered by the public cloud is an integral part of Software AG’s strategy of empowering the Digital Enterprise.
