We implemented the tool to operationally steer a customer’s IT roadmap and their strategic imperatives derived from target IT landscape and IT operating model. What we like is that the tool is made to operationalize our IT strategy directly where we face the business needs. We standardize our non-functional requirements (EA, IT security, …) to be automatically applied with every software demand. Additionally, the tool fosters to first check the IT portfolio before proposing something new from the market. This reduced new purchases on average by 18% per year.

We use Softwaregini for innovation scouting and finding the newest trends in our relevant categories. I like that the platform provides access and insights to +50000 solutions available on the market. Here, I don’t have to give away my contact information when gathering information which makes it very convenient for me.

The tool is interdisciplinary and inteagres our IT governance, Enterprise Architecture and procurement department seamlessly in one process for software selection. Especially, we like that we able to integrate the tools of those teams so that we leverage our data assets and reduce manual transitions between the teams. One oft he most important features is that we automate the reuse of our existing IT portfolio. This saves us from buying redundant software and leverages synergy effects.
