Tim Hargest
Head of IS Strategy & Architecture
„Roadmapping is absolutely critical for us and I’m excited to find a tool that offers that capability and that’s something I hope to be using.“

Dirk Ostermann
CIO
„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.“

Stephan Hug
CTO, Private Banking IT
„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.“

Petra Finke
CIO
„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.“

Carsten Schmies
Manager Corporate IT
„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.“

Burkhard Perkens-Golomb
IT Architect
„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.“

Dip.-Ing. Klaus Glatz
CIO
„EAM is a major issue for our company. It supports us in creating an added value in which we have precise knowledge of the enterprise architecture and the process landscape. I believe that EAM is a central issue for every CIO.“

Peter Weisbach
Executive Vice President
“The new capability management based on the Structured Customer Dialog framework in planningIT is a powerful platform for us to engage in structured dialogue with our customers and business partners and deliver on their strategic goals. This approach is the key to empowering the CIO with respect to his business colleagues at the C-level.“

Hans Mörtl
IT Process / Application Management Methods and Technologies
"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.”
-
Thomas Wagner
IT Systems Architect Production Management
„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.“
-
Karl-Christian Genzken
Managing Consultant IT
T-Systems Enterprise Services GmbH
"As an IT service provider, we have to support our own enterprise business objectives and requirements as well as those of our customers and business partners. 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.”
-
Rainer Scheibehenne
Senior Consultant CIO Office
"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.”
-
Dr. Christoph Gall
Head of IT Strategy and Architecture
"The fundamental advantages of standardization with our EAM program is on the one hand the cost savings we've gained from streamlined operations and on the other hand we've become considerably more flexible as we only have to tackle issues once because we're planning and managing according to standards.”
-
Karsten Struck
Head of IT Strategy
"A platform like planningIT that supports collaboration amongst the various departments clearly brings a lot of value. It enables IT processes to be planned, built and used by the departments and stakeholders more effectively and become accepted standards.”
-
Dr. Andreas Bereczky
COO & Production Director
"Every enterprise has a multitude of parallel running projects and the interrelationships, overlaps and impact on development of these projects has to be transparent. One can uncover many synergies and therefore be in a position to generate additional resources.“
