C-Level Executives Turn to Enterprise Portfolio Management to Improve Return on Invested Capital, Reduce Costs and Improve Strategic Alignment of Major Programs and Projects.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. -- Business Performance Improved Through Better Alignment of Strategy, Investment Planning and Project Execution

Shorter product lifecycles, expanding regulatory controls, increasing shareholder pressure and continued economic and worldwide political uncertainty are just some of the factors that are causing C-Level executives to look for better ways to plan, prioritize, select, fund and manage their major capital investments. According to CFO Research Services, with moderate economic growth in the forecast, profit acceleration will come only from disciplined capital investment, improved productivity and sound cost management.

Recently, the role of CEOs and CFOs has expanded due to corporate governance mandating reform for corporate accountability. C-Level executives must be strategic planners as well as managers of budgets and forecasts. They must monitor, track and analyze projects while responding to changing business initiatives. As the accuracy and effectiveness of financial performance is expected to increase, so does the need for processes and technologies to link business strategy with execution.

In response to the need for improved budgeting and monitoring of capital investments in Information Technology, Research and Development, and major facilities and equipment, companies are turning to a new generation of investment planning and control software that integrates portfolio management and project management. According to the META Group, the IT Portfolio Management market alone was about $85 million in 2003, and is projected to grow significantly to about $540 million in 2006. In addition, Gartner projected that by 2006, over 80 percent of G2000 CIOs will adopt portfolio management.

"Organizations with a single place where all initiatives and project information can be captured to manage the entire investment picture have a tremendous advantage, said Patrick Ternier, president and CEO of Artemis International Solutions Corporation. "Our customer feedback shows that when executives can oversee the whole investment mix, they can better align business objectives with budgets and execute on strategy more effectively. They're also able to identify poorly performing or misaligned investments and programs so they can stop unnecessary spending."

Artemis, a long time provider of software and consulting solutions for project management, provides a framework for Investment Planning and Control(TM) that incorporates portfolio and project management techniques to enable companies to effectively link business strategy with execution. This enterprise-wide single platform includes four application areas including IT Management, New Product Development, Fleet and Asset Optimization and Public Investment Management.

Indicative that portfolio management is being applied across the enterprise is a July 2004 report by Dennis Gaughan, AMR Research, titled The Evolution of Portfolio Management that states, "While much of our research on portfolio management aims at IT, there is a distinct trend in the enterprise to apply the same portfolio management processes and technologies to other parts of the business, from managing a portfolio of assets to optimizing the planning for new product development. The payoffs of good portfolio management in product development can be enormous, especially in verticals like Pharmaceuticals, where it can take 10 years and $1B to bring a new drug to market."

Artemis Investment Planning and Control(TM) provides a tangible demonstration of strategy by helping the organization to focus on investments that generate optimum value, linking portfolio of investments to business goals, achieving the right balance and mix of investments, optimizing the value of the portfolio by prioritizing and funding the most valuable investments, and ensuring that actual execution and performance is in line with business objectives.

The Investment Planning and Control(TM) framework ensures business strategy is driven throughout the entire organization by supporting:

--Strategy formulation and objectives setting

--Investment planning and budgeting

--Investment prioritization and selection

--Capital and resource allocation 

--Performance and benefit management

--Program and project execution and control

In addition, governance dashboards allow executives to analyze and prioritize business investments, monitor and manage programs throughout their lifecycle, evaluate effectiveness and optimize program execution.
