Dirk OstermannCIO
„EAM helps us answer the following questions: What does this application cost and what business output does it generate? Do we have a reasonable cost/benefit relation? Does the effect I generate with my process meet the relevant business unit’s demand? Is the support provided to the business unit for this process worth it? These are questions that allow you to not only engage in a bilateral discussion about costs and benefits but also to come together at a roundtable to mutually discuss what steps to take next to best achieve the goal that really drives us, the enterprise’s success.“

„One of planningIT’s strength is that it’s a very good meta-model. We really have a lot of possibilities to model the things we want to model. Also, I really appreciate is the support you get from alfabet. You simply call them and in most cases you’ll get a very quick response.“

„planningIT’s methodology perfectly matches our requirements and, as a result we were able to implement it out of the box without any problems. planningIT is used by stakeholders across Credit Suisse’s global organization dealing with 3000 applications including 3000 technical components and their relations to each other. Frankly, we couldn’t have hoped for a better fit to our needs.“

„The decisive factor for planningIT was that instead of trying to describe the concrete operational IT processes, such as project management, product management and service processes, planningIT functions as an umbrella for all IT processes and provides a bird’s eye view of the IT, the master planning and the project portfolio. What I really liked was that planningIT has this clear focus and thus remains straightforward and easy to manage for us. I was really impressed by this aspect of planningIT.“

„By creating transparency with planningIT we can identify the opportunities we have to consolidate and harmonize the heterogeneity and complexity of our application landscape. planningIT is key to realizing our EAM concept. Our goals are completely supported by planningIT’s methodology. It’s all available in the tool so we can work with it right out of the box.“

„There were three knock-out criteria for choosing planningIT. Firstly, we wanted to take a decentralized approach which the solution supports very well. All our units worldwide can work via planningIT’s web interface without having any software installed locally. Secondly, a very important aspect was usability, so we can hook a lot of people to the system and they are able to operate it without much training. And finally the ability to manage the dimension of time, which I think planningIT is outstanding at.“

"IT is increasingly becoming a catalysor for enterprise and business change. Strategic planning is very important to us, so that we can meet the customer or the business partner on the basis of a common understanding. We're not just concerned with applications, we also have to be in a position to talk about strategic business with our business partners, and to do that we need the strategic component that planningIT provides us.”

„The level of complexity at Sparkassen Informatik is continuously increasing and as a result of mergers, spin-offs and restructuring of the organization, I believe that to manage this now and in the future a tool is really necessary so that we can implement EAM in a structured and effective way.“

A very powerful aspect of planningIT is that it enables us to effectively manage and support these often diametrically opposed strategies from one central and collaborative platform.”

"planningIT is a comprehensive suite that covers business and IT strategy alignment, enterprise architecture as well as portfolio management. There is a wide range of integrated modules you can use, which gives you the flexibility to expand upwards or outwards. In my opinion this is a significant advantage over other tools on the market.”
