CHANGEPOINT'S PORTFOLIO-MANAGEMENT product is a highly customizable, flexible and secure system for managing the business of IT. Although a bit pricey, CPM offers integrated time and project management on top of the analysis, reporting and forecasting expected in a portfolio-management product. And Changepoint's client portal is a value-add, letting IT "customers" submit requests, check on project status and take part in a peer performance-review process. Changepoint's dashboard can be personalized, giving users control over the view of relevant information, such as status updates on projects and a list of tasks. Finally, the product's security mechanisms are extremely granular, letting administrators ensure that sensitive data cannot be manipulated--or even seen--by unauthorized users.
