ICT Infrastructure and Application Portfolio
ICT Services are built on the ICT Infrastructure and Application Portfolio. The ICT Infrastructure Portfolio should serve as a solid foundation, enabling new applications to be rolled out quickly.
Agile Portfolio & Release Management practices mainly apply to the functional layers of ICT. The infrastructure portfolio can be managed in a more traditional way over longer horizons, but it must also be prepared to provide flexibility to meet the short-term needs of the Application Portfolio.
A flexible cloud-based infrastructure can quickly adapt to support emerging needs. Traditional onsite data centers, on the other hand, may take months to prepare the infrastructure for supporting new applications.
