Q.) What is The Consortium for Technology Portfolio Management Excellence?
A.) The Consortium is an alliance of supplier-neutral business, academic, and governmental groups that have come together to provide training; establish cost-effective business standards; and communicate business best practices, processes, and procedures for helping the average company reduce the high costs and risks of business technology goods and services.
A.) Absolutely. It is part of our plan to conduct focused research in a wide range of knowledge and "state of the industry" issues relating to the fields of technology portfolio management.
Q.) What is the significance of The Consortium's supplier-neutral status?
A.) The Consortium is one of the only global technology portfolio management alliances representing the unique needs of the business technology consumer. The knowledge and recommendations of The Consortium are determined by genuine business needs driven by industry practitioners and codified by academic experts. As such, they do not depend upon - or represent - any specific supplier or brand of technology goods. There are no hidden agendas--no "gotta have it" products or services behind our solutions.
Q.) It seems as if there are plenty of groups that already provide standards and best practices in technology asset management or portfolio management. What makes The Consortium unique?
A.) The Consortium is dedicated to significantly reducing the costs of acquiring and implementing existing technology asset management methodologies while optimizing your control over your own technology environment through shared knowledge and proven front line solutions to common problems. Why would you pay more for unnecessarily complex and proprietary solutions to common problems when you can gain the help you need right here?
