Strategic IT planning software reveals thousands of new ways for IT to economise. Troux Technologies today announced the release of Troux 7.1, the latest version of its breakthrough software products and platform that accelerate the pace of business and IT transformations through improved strategic IT planning. The release of Troux 7 in the autumn of 2007 ushered in a period of rapid adoption by some of the most recognised brands in the international business community. Troux worked closely with these companies to identify the most useful and innovative business and IT transformations

including: Application Consolidation; Application Reduction; SOA Investment Planning; IT Simplification; IT Standards Management; Outsourcing; and Infrastructure Consolidation.

Troux 7.1 now provides new out-of-the box support to accelerate these use cases and continues to arm organisations with immediate access to reliable intelligence, improved organisational insight, as well as the ability to conduct impact analysis through risk-free scenario planning. “As the business environment gets tougher, there is a greater need for strategic IT planning, so IT departments are able to enable change instead of just reacting to it,” said Bola Rotibi, principal analyst at Ovum. “CIOs need the ability to make decisions that factor in the whole IT environment, and will be best served by tools and services that have built-in responses to real life scenarios and requirements gained from collaboration with a strong portfolio of end-user organisations" said Rotibi.

“We knew that Troux 7.0 was a groundbreaking product. We realised that if we could add new capabilities quickly it would help companies remain competitive given the current economic climate,” said Matt Price, vice president of worldwide marketing for Troux. “The speed of this release was made possible by the flexibility of the Troux product architecture and the innovative agile development methods employed by the Troux research and development team. With Troux 7, the goal was to educate business on the value of transformative intelligence. With 7.1 we are helping them realise that value fast,” Price said. Troux 7.1 has been enhanced with a host of new capabilities, from new decision-support functionality to collaborative tools, integrations and an array of new reports.
