What Is APM?

For 30 years, Micro Focus has maintained a strong commitment towards helping its customers maximize the value of their existing assets:

• The people – their knowledge, skills and experience
  
  
• The business processes – through which competitive advantage is achieved and maintained
  
  
• The core systems – the IT building blocks on which everything depends

Driven by advances in technology the likes of which few people could have anticipated, the business world has changed considerably over the last three decades. Consumer expectation has exploded, demanding better, cheaper, faster… fuelled by a global economy providing unparalleled levels of choice and, for the business, an increasingly competitive landscape.

Throughout this time, Micro Focus has helped companies deliver efficiency and business alignment right to the heart of their IT operations.

We believe that the challenge now facing most companies is how to manage what they do not fully understand - the vast array of business information and unrelated and disconnected pieces of their IT jigsaw. If companies are to make the right strategic decisions, and make them quickly, they must build that understanding, and build it right across their business.

Application Portfolio Management (APM) helps them gain that understanding, and from it build a successful and continually evolving IT strategy. With the Micro Focus APM solution, the CIO is able to remove the risk associated with major business change while delivering significant corporate value.
