Troux Helps The U.S. Census Bureau Transform and Streamline Business Process and Planning

AUSTIN, TX--(Marketwired - May 28, 2014) - The U.S. Census Bureau has used Troux's Enterprise Portfolio Management (EPM) solutions to build a successful integrated business that is underpinned by an IT decision process, collaborative governance, and a common knowledge base.

Highlights

• To meet the mandate of being the leading data source for the Nation's people and economy, Census set out to build optimal IT solutions that can handle multiple business challenges and make it possible to stay on top of timelines, relevancy, quality and cost. 
• Further, Census was under pressure to provide mission planning and overall enterprise architecture support as demand for mobility, efficiency and agility move the Bureau moves towards an automated census by 2020.
• The siloed organizational view of its business with independent processes and minimal shared infrastructure made the EA initiative central to the Bureau's ultimate goal of becoming more elastic and scalable to meet the needs of more than 500,000 field users.
• Census used EA as a mechanism to move away from 'business as usual' to a more streamlined and collaborative environment optimized for decision-making.
• The Bureau intends to use Troux's EPM solution to drive and evaluate investment decisions by linking applications to investments and projects. As a result the bureau will gain insights into how best to realign IT investments to support modernization strategies and priorities.

Avi Bender, CTO, The U.S. Census Bureau: "This transformation gives us more innovative ways of doing business, faster results, and more cost-effective capabilities."
