Key Infrastructure Capabilities

APIO efforts at Microsoft have focused on these key infrastructure capabilities that have helped align IT with business goals:

Business Intelligence — The business intelligence infrastructure ties information together across an organization. A single framework can remove barriers to finding and using data, which helps people throughout the organization to collaborate and make informed decisions.

Data Management — These infrastructure strategies and management processes help companies of all sizes store (according to security guidelines) and manage ever-increasing amounts of data from disparate sources. Data Management also helps to ensure that business-critical systems and applications stay running.

Software Development — The integrated environment for all types of development; including Microsoft Windows®, Microsoft Office, Web, and mobile applications. Helps an organization respond to business priorities by offering the right level of visibility, collaboration, and control within the software development process.

Service-Oriented Architecture and Business Process Management — Provides proven best-practice guidance on how to establish and manage flexible, repeatable, and connected business and IT processes within a service-oriented architecture.

User Experience — This is what organizations should consider implementing in their IT infrastructures to help guarantee superior user experiences that drive employee productivity, customer loyalty, and business growth.
