Capability Heatmaps

Once the Domain / Capability structure is defined, the next steps is to allows the business to determine current performance vs. desired performance and gain a clear understanding of which capabilities are core to the business and warrant further IT support. The delta between current and desired performance presents a clear expression of the business to IT where there is a need for action. Right from the capability map, users can evaluate for each of the capabilities what projects are already planned or under way, what the current application landscape is and initiate other analytical views.

Application Evaluation across the Business

PlanningIT supports the concept of evaluations on almost every level. This enables customers to capture performance and quality of applications on different levels. Here we see how a specific organization (FD Trading) rates the different applications (eBank, Eurex, etc) according to specific key criteria like integration, user satisfaction, etc.

Application Business Support

The Business Support Map is one of the critical views in PlanningIT. It provides valuable information to the Business as well as IT by showing and identifying the current applications that are supporting specific business processes for an organization. This “AS-IS” view of the current business support is critical from a master planning perspective because it provides the starting point for all planning activities.
