Portfolio Services

Where do we start? What do we do next?

This group of services sets your company on the path to success. Companies understand they can’t do everything at once. It’s just too complex and too costly. Business units have different goals and intended uses for proposed information solutions. Executives demand a clear view of the business drivers and value justification before investing dollars, time, and resources.

Portfolio Services help you establish that a valid business need for information solutions exists and build understanding across the enterprise. Baseline helps you create a collection of candidate applications or work projects – your portfolio – and establish priorities using weighted selection criteria based on your company’s objectives. Baseline helps you define the value, feasibility, and priority of each application in the portfolio. We describe this as “planning the roadmap and executing in small, controlled projects.”

Portfolio Services create a pipeline of applications and activities that are delivered in the right order against data that’s integrated and reusable across systems and users. With Baseline’s Portfolio Services, you have a clear roadmap and a permanent approach to planning.

Portfolio Services include:
