Hewlett-Packard, a quiet company in the noisy software sector, is expanding its systems and software management portfolio to include a version of its Project and Portfolio Management Center that ties into several existing technology optimization products.
Few trumpets will herald the move, but it illustrates how HP is building out its core software, formerly known as the OpenView product line, into a comprehensive data center management suite. The announcement of Project and Portfolio Management Center 7.5 shows how HP is trying to get beyond the simplistic “Is the system up and running?” question to the hitherto difficult-to-discern issues. They include such things as how frequently has that application needed fixing, what are the fixes costing us, and when should we replace it?
Project and portfolio management in the general sense is an application meant to give visibility into software development projects and make the resulting code more manageable as it moves into its production life cycle.
