WASHINGTON, April 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Troux(TM) Technologies, the leader in business transformation through IT governance software and solutions, today expanded its solutions in the federal government marketplace with the Troux IT Transformation Suite, a complete set of software solutions for cost management and decision making. The suite helps Federal and state CIOs, business strategists and IT planners support key initiatives in the areas of enterprise architecture, homeland security and regulatory compliance, business process management, financial management and business transformation.

"The Troux IT Transformation Suite provides clear business value for government executives by letting them run IT like a business," said Bill Wright, Chief Technology Officer of Troux Technologies. "It enables them to utilize their IT resources to fulfill their missions at minimal expense while still maintaining the highest quality of service. It also plays a key role in enabling federal agencies to fulfill legislative and executive mandates which dictate that IT departments must meet strict standards or face the consequences that projects will not be approved and capital expenditures will be curtailed."

Enterprise Baseline Provides End-to-End Visibility

The Troux IT Transformation Suite provides the critical link between Enterprise Architecture planning (done with tools such as Metis by Troux) and IT operations. By tying the "future-state" goals of the enterprise to an actionable IT roadmap, IT organizations can begin to target the optimal strategies to move the enterprise forward. Providing these capabilities for business transformation within government organizations are four key Troux applications:

- IT Standardization for managing and auditing an IT standards library against current state and future state environments. - IT Roadmapping for sequencing IT projects against enterprise goals and requirements. - Application Optimization for creating, managing and analyzing a dynamic portfolio of applications. - Service Management for creating a service catalog and managing SLAs and SLOs.

The Troux IT Transformation Suite is fully compliant with government- mandated standards, including frameworks like FEAF and DoD AF. Information standards or methodologies like XML or UML are also supported, making it easy to import and use the widest variety of data types from varied data sources.

Pricing and Availability

The Troux IT Transformation Suite is currently released to lighthouse customers, and will be generally available in June 2005. Pricing for the Transformation applications starts at $275,000.
