Organizations face cost, quality & time challenges
Operations
Absence of shared IT
processes or
workflows
60% - 80% of average
company's IT budget spent
on maintaining existing
applications1
Insufficient visibility
into project progress
51% of projects in 2004
were delayed or over
budget, another 15% of
projects failed outright2
Decoupled, audit-less 50% of applications put
build, deploy, rollback into production are later
processes
rolled back3
68% of post production
Inability to quickly
pinpoint problem root application support comes
from development teams;
cause and resolve
on average 30% of their
problems

IT Lifecycle Management
…Bridging the Gap
“Major vendors are starting to integrate
their application life-cycle management
(ALM) and systems management tools
to close the loop between development
and operations and are also starting to
integrate these tools with portfolio
management tools to make the link with
planning. The vision – a fully integrated,
automated end-to-end solution – what
IDC is calling IT life-cycle management
(ITLM)…”
Melissa Webster, IDC, May 2005 - “IT Life-Cycle
Management: Will a Platform Emerge?”

What IT Department should think about
How IT can improve its
process in the following
areas:
Planning
Application Development
Deployment

Collaboration Required
- Not just an organization problem
Business Managers
CIO
Make the right IT
investments
Deliver the right solutions and great service
IT Operations Mgrs.
Application Development Mgrs.
Accelerate time to value
Analysts

Governance Integration
Maximize profitability through the predictable use of IT assets
How can I make sure we are doing the
right thing?
CEO

What if….
Data freely flowed across development/operations divide
•…round trip debugging would take minutes to hours instead of days to weeks
•…defects could be removed with minimal cost or time impact
•…applications and production infrastructure could be proactively co-optimized
Build and deployment procedures were united and automated
•…complex applications and hardware would be configured without manual intervention
•…deployment errors would be reduced
•…deployment processes and machine configurations would be auditable
Portfolio views included real-time analysis of project-specific data
•…project and portfolio health could be actively monitored in real-time
•…informed decisions could be made about project prioritization and resource allocation
•…business system availability and service level support could be linked to cost

Aligning IT investments against business goals
Prioritize and invest in IT projects

Make decisions based on business alignment,
resource availability, financial data
 Gain visibility into progress of software
development projects
View statistics from the Rational Team Unifying
Platform for insight into the health and progress
of development projects
 Monitor business system health and
service levels
Use Tivoli Business Systems Manager and
Tivoli Service Level Advisor for monitoring and
reporting the health of systems in operations
Create competitive advantages
Result: through aligned IT investments
