Case Study : SECETI

SECETI enhances IT Services with Application Portfolio Management.

SECETI is a joint-stock company owned by the Gruppo Bancario Istituto Centrale delle Banche Popolari. It supplies financial services to more than 5000 branch across Italy serving the general population.

Managing the nationwide IT network, SECETI is responsible for the development of centralized systems that allow Banche Popolari to supply its services and products throughout Italy.

SECETI required a software product that was able to automatically generate technical documentation for the company’s installed base of mission critical applications on the IBM MVS platform (including reference files, their access typology and reference copies). SECETI chose the Micro Focus Application Portfolio Management (APM) solution to manage and document their entire enterprise application portfolio.

The Micro Focus APM solution improved the company’s system management capability by storing high quality metadata about its applications in a knowledge base. It allowed SECETI to plan new software development and maintenance projects and to improve cost control. This enabled the organization to deploy its IT staff more efficiently and effectively.

Centralized, consistent and automatically updated documentation allowed IT staff to analyze applications in a shorter time, facilitated Enterprise Application Integration and Innovation Strategy projects, and improved time-to-market for key software projects.

In addition, The Micro Focus APM solution provided SECETI with the right tools to monitor software quality and improve end user service levels.

“Once we saw the potential of [the Micro Focus APM solution], we realized it had multiple applications and answered several other of our future needs.”
