Portfolio Management

Are you investing in the right things at the right time to generate the right returns?

Organizations must ensure that they maximize the value of IT investments  while minimizing the risks on projects.  Determining the optimal mix of project investment by understanding inter-dependencies among systems, monitoring project portfolio performance, and minimizing risk in a dynamic environment can be challenging.

These challenges pale in comparison to the value it brings to your IT investments, as it forces IT and business people to talk about investments from a business perspective.

Although traditional financial portfolio management techniques can be applied, they fail to address unique challenges related to IT projects, such as how to value IT project investments and handle finite IT and business resources. 

Many additional considerations come in to play when managing an organization's entire portfolio of efforts. 

• Which projects should we do and not do?
• What should our mix of tactical and strategic efforts be?
• Should we hire all the staff we need or use consultants and other technical vendors to assist us with certain efforts?

JCS can partner with you to address the complex challenges of IT portfolio management, making it possible for technology to become a critical enabler of an organization's strategy.
