Product Flyer IT Operations Management Improving this visibility enables business teams to make more strategic decisions.

Approximately 92 percent of enterprises have partial or no integration between IT metrics and business value. 1 With limited visibility into IT, business teams are making decisions that could ultimately result in application and ser - vice degradation, inefficient operations, and poor customer experiences.

Why You Need a Business Value Dashboard IT is too often viewed as a cost center and not a strategic business partner. Failure to com - municate IT contributions in business terms in - hibits investments in initiatives that could add business value. The Micro Focus® Business Value Dashboard (BVD) can help convey value to business leaders and change the percep - tion of IT as merely an operational contributor to a more strategic partner.

Broaden Your View of IT BVD helps you align operations with the busi - ness. Use BVD to create custom, flexible IT dashboards in HTML5 that can be accessed anywhere, anytime from any device with a browser. Through custom integrations and graphing, you can find and review relevant information that will aid decision-making and improve business outcomes.

Bridge the Information Gap BVD and its IT operations dashboard works with a variety of data sources including Micro Focus Operations Bridge (OpsBridge), which provides a single view into your IT operations.

Access the rich information set directly in BVD without rebuilding the integrations for the dashboard separately. BVD also now shares metrics with our Collect Once Store Once (COSO) common data store.

Incorporate your own graphics, add color to identify status, and receive real-time updates—so you always understand the value driven by IT. Business Value Dashboard While staying agile in this dynamic market forces business and IT teams to align and work together, IT continues to struggle with pro - viding visibility in business terms.
