San Francisco, California, July 21, 2009—Realtime Publishers, the leader in online publishing for the IT industry, and Compuware, leading provider of software, experts and best practices to ensure applications work well and deliver business value, announced the immediate release of The Executive Guide to Improving Your Business Through IT Portfolio Management. In this excellent new eBook, author Jim Varner walks you through the IT Portfolio Management model, and suggest ways to transform IT into the primary supplier of relevant data to business leaders. This process changes IT from a cost center to a division which directly contributes to the bottom line.
”When IT is perceived as a cost center, IT fosters conflict with an organization. Technology users feel frustration at IT’s lack of service, and corporate decision makers suspect their money might be better off invested elsewhere,” explains author Jim Varner. “IT Portfolio management provides a window into IT and presents relevant data to anyone in the organization. Executives involved with IT decisions have the unique ability to understand both business and technology. With the tools and methods explained in this guide, they will be able to account for and elevate IT investments, and ultimately, grow the business.”
