What Are the Benefits of AMM Monitoring?
Boost User Adoption
User adoption has traditionally been a challenging aspect of PPM system implementations, given the organizational shift it requires and the new deep visibility it provides into IT initiatives and the status of employees’ work. With AMM, your organization can gain an accurate and comprehensive picture of the system’s usage. You can define advanced expected usage levels and monitor against them, to identify generic or specific user adoption problems and address them.
Enhance Data Quality
An information system is only as good as the quality of data it captures. This is particularly true for strategic systems, such as PPM, which is used to evaluate large IT investments and derive key performance metrics of the IT organization as a whole. With AMM’s data quality functionality, organizations can verify the timeliness, comprehensiveness, consistency, and validity of its data through a combination of generic and customer-specific data quality rules. With this new information in hand, IT managers can 1) discern whether they can rely on the information presented to them 2) identify and address specific or general data quality issues, and 3) ensure that the whole organization can trust data from HP PPM.
Ascend the PPM Maturity Model
PPM Maturity and effective IT governance have been proven to correlate strongly with an organization’s business results. The HP PPM tool provides functionality that enables organizations to climb the PPM maturity model, while utilizing well proven industry best practices. Through the use of AMM’s PPM maturity functionality, organizations can ensure that they are fully utilizing HP PPM’s entire feature set. They can collect hard data about their current PPM maturity status, determine realistic maturity growth plans, and monitor the actual results vs. plan.
Optimize PPM Training and Support
The size and focus of information system support organizations should correlate strongly with the usage patterns of the tool. Through the use of AMM’s advanced system utilization visualizations, customers can adjust their PPM support structure to meet actual system usage and identify groups of users that require additional training or support.
Manage Licenses Effectively
Using AMM’s license management functionality, you can ensure that your valuable HP PPM licenses are being utilized most effectively. You can allocate licenses to different groups, monitor the actual license assignments against these allocations, monitor actual system usage by license owners, and be automatically alerted when the number of available licenses—at the group or system level—is running short.
