IT portfolio management entails the business management of an organisation’s key business information systems & infrastructures from strategic planning through to the disposal of that system. In the case of enterprise class systems and infrastructure, the useful life of these assets might be 10 to 15years, whilst a non-enterprise class asset life might only be a few years.

Common portfolio practices include strategic planning, managed procurement, change management, operational support, risk minimisation, asset redeployment and disposal management. A key component is ensuring continuity exists between the business owners of information assets and service providers charged with the development, management, support and disposal across the life of the asset.

Portfolio management at UNSW works equally with the business owners of key enterprise class assets and IT at UNSW to assure that these assets support the needs of the University community by providing information services for strategic, tactical, operational and learning and teaching requirements requirements.
