What is inside this brochure?
Planisware Horizon is the AI-powered software solution that connects IT and digital projects, portfolios and business goals in one cloud platform, from idea to delivery. This solution overview shows how CIOs, finance, PMOs, product owners and enterprise architects decide what to build and why, and track how it is delivered.
The challenge. Projects and digital products are defining the future of the business, and they raise 3 questions: what is the true cost of a digital product across CapEx, OpEx and labor; are the skills and capacity there if the strategy pivots; and which initiatives should be paused if the budget is cut by 10%. The brochure shows why the answers sit in separate systems today, and how Horizon answers them in one place.
Where Horizon fits. Horizon does not replace execution tools: it connects them and makes them strategic. A value chain of 6 stages, from ideas and demand to value realization, shows who leads each one, from the CIO and the CFO to the PMO, product owners and enterprise architects.
5 pillars.
- Financial confidence: business cases built from the idea, CapEx and OpEx evaluated scenario by scenario, total cost of ownership of digital products across labor, licenses and infrastructure, top-down and bottom-up budgeting, and benefits tracked from idea to realization, with chargeback to funding sources.
- Scenarios and strategic planning: themes, objectives and OKRs linked to every initiative, product and epic; multi-year roadmaps; what-if scenarios compared on cost, benefits, resource impact and OKR attainment, with prioritization including WSJF and AI-assisted portfolio optimization.
- Resource synchronization: capacity planned by role, skill and team across every portfolio, from annual capacity planning down to time tracking, with bottlenecks on shared experts found before projects start.
- Hybrid delivery: phase-gate, waterfall, agile and SAFe in one portfolio and one status, with agile work run in Horizon or in the tools teams already use.
- IT assets and enterprise architecture: applications, technologies and data mapped to the capabilities, processes and organizations they serve, with TIME assessment and projects linked to the assets they change.
AI across the portfolio. Digital agents, predictive models and AI assistants work inside the screens teams already use. Planisware Prisma reads live data, opens the right screen and proposes the change, and every AI change is reviewed before it is written. Horizon also governs the AI portfolio itself: which AI initiatives exist, what they cost and whether the capacity is there to deliver them. Bring your own LLM, with an MCP server and client.
Connected to the tools that run the work. Jira, Azure DevOps, Aha! and Microsoft Planner for delivery; enterprise architecture repositories and IT service management tools through native connectors; Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, Documentum and Google Workspace for collaboration; SSO, LDAP, Active Directory and SCIM for identity; the BI Box with Power BI, Tableau and Qlik for data; REST API, OData and Kafka to build what is missing.
Customer results. ADNOC moved from Excel files, emails and shared drives to one governed portfolio. ADM Technology standardized project delivery, reporting and resource deployment across a landscape built through mergers and acquisitions. A leading utility company consolidated SAFe, agile and waterfall work from many point solutions into one book of work.
Cloud and services. Planisware runs its own cloud, with 99.7% guaranteed availability and ISO 27001, SOC 1, SOC 2 and TISAX among its certifications, and supports each customer from the first workshop to everyday operations. Horizon supports the frameworks IT already follows, including COBIT, ITIL, ISO 38500, CMMI and TOGAF.
