HP to reveal scorecard software

, writes PCWorld.

The idea behind the software is to unify operational and management under a single set of data, says Piet Loubser, HP senior director of product marketing.

“It doesn't help to , measure or optimise one part of the portfolio. We need to look across every aspect,” he said.

As a hypothetical example, Loubser noted that a tool that measures the financial health of a given project may show that the project is under budget, says ComputerWorld.

However, this would miss the fact that the project is behind schedule, a metric that would be captured only on project management software. This Executive Scorecard could bring together these disparate elements within a single view, he says.

“Bringing together all the different perspective across the IT landscape is a critical objective,” he adds.

The HP Executive Scorecard software can gather metrics from 50 other HP software products within the HP enterprise software line.

The Executive Scorecard is a cornerstone of the newly-named HP IT Performance Suite, an umbrella brand that will encompass all of HP's enterprise software.
