BERLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--alfabet AG, a leading provider of strategic IT planning and business IT management solutions, today announced the availability of its Mobile Portfolio Manager. With this new application, alfabet adds a new product next to it's offerings for Business IT Management, specifically addressing the needs of CIOs for informed decision making across the integrated IT portfolio using mobile devices.
Apple’s iPad and other tablets have enjoyed a huge surge in popularity, not only with consumers but also with business professionals. Information has become a ubiquitous commodity and business people demand its availability everywhere, anytime.
The Mobile Portfolio Manager meets today’s and tomorrow’s demands for instant and individual access to enterprise information, and fullest possible availability of data, a fingertip away.
Designed in HTML5, the platform-agnostic application is available now for the use on tablet computers – iPad and Android. Business and IT leaders increasingly like these devices and would like to use them, but they currently often lack meaningful business applications. alfabet’s Mobile Portfolio Manager serves as a practical and easy-to-use dashboard for CIOs and other decision makers in business and IT, which facilitates access to up-to-the-minute information. It provides valuable insight into the enterprise IT portfolio, thereby supporting better informed decisions within the business strategy, investment and risk management context. Server-based, centrally managed and rolled-out to the mobile terminal equipment, the Mobile Portfolio Manager complies with the highest security requirements.
“Instant access to current and complete information is key to being able to make better decisions and to respond quickly to issues and the ever-changing stream of business demands,” said Dr. Ulrich Kalex, Vice President Product Line Management of alfabet. “I am delighted to see that alfabet’s Mobile Portfolio Manager provides IT decision makers with access to their IT portfolio anywhere, anytime. Resulting in better insight into portfolio interdependencies and providing transparency into the correlation of IT decisions and expected and/or desired business impacts and outcomes."
Many IT and business professionals are already using tablets - in fact, a recent IDG Connect research shows that 71 % already own tablets, and of those that don't 90 % are intending to buy one over the next 12 months. As bring your own device (BYOD) will soon become the norm, these devices are going to be used for work and there are many factors that companies need to consider. In her blog Kathryn Cave looks at how the growth of tablets could affect business, and discusses how tablets could shape businesses between now and 2020.
