The document discusses application portfolio management in mining and presents a classification reference model mapping vendor solutions to business capabilities. It begins by covering application portfolio management and the need for an industry reference model given the specialized nature of mining applications. An application classification model is then developed by researching 91 vendors and 323 applications. The model maps applications across 5 levels based on their purpose. Finally, the document explores how the reference model can be used for customer rationalization, analyzing vendor solution spread, and vendor comparison.

Business Capability:
A Business Capability refers
to the highest-level
business functionality
encapsulating People,
Process, Technology and
Data. It describes what a
company is required to do
but defines no detail about
how to achieve it.
The EMMM is an industry
forum operating under the
auspices of The Open
Group. The forum defines
standards for the
exploration and mining
industry, for all metals and
minerals.

Editor's Notes
First of all, we found this important.As research shows, application portfolio management continues to be an important topic for IT departments.As Forrester Research stated in 2009 two thirds or more of IT budgets was spent on operations and maintenance. This leads to the focus of trying to manage the portfolio of applications within the organisation more effectively
There’s plenty of concerns that application portfolio management exercises try to address and in order to do so it typically requires the asking of pertinent questions about the applications in the organisation. For example, if Rationalisation is a priority, the organisation needs to understand things suchWhat are the applications in the portfolioWhat function do they performWhat processes they are used inWhat the costs areWho the owners and users are, etc.
In order to do this, application portfolio management exercises tend to start of with a spreadsheet listing the different applications owned by the organisation.Over and above the application name and the vendor the portfolio usually needs to get organised into groups of applications based on their type or function. This process of classifying applications is often a challenge in itself, because the architect does not always have in-depth knowledge about all the applications.
When trying to classify applications, one can typically look to reference material.This is an example a reference model by flashmap systems that classifies Commercial Off the Shelf Software. While a bit dated, these are quite helpful in categorising your application portfolioFor example, these applications are classified under Engineering and Manufacturing – while two categories are probably the closest they don’t include any mining specific systems.This reference model also includes an industry view that covers most industriesEXCEPT for one obvious exclusion - mining.
So if all else fails, we turn to google. Wikipedia has an article that speaks about Application Software Classification and I’ve summarised the different categories they have here.With the exclusion of Geographic Information Systems as one of the classes, this also does not include of the specialist applications within the mining space.
The work of the EMMM forum is helping to provide context to this area.As with any industry, most of the processes within the value chain are being supported by a range of applications.
These industry application reference material currently available really only provides context within the Supporting processes such as Finance, HR, Logistics and Material Management.There is very little coverage for most of the core value chain.
However, there’s a wide range of other specialist systems with the core process areas of discover, establish, exploit and beneficiate as well as Manage Safety Health and environment that also do warrant APM efforts.These are, in particular, a wide range Mining Technical Systems that focus on the various aspects of the mining value chain, often a wide range of system types within each of the L2 processes.These include technical systems focusing on one of the core disciplines such as geology, engineering, extraction, processing.
In addition to the lack of reference material, this subject area is further complicated by a number of other facts.The specialist systems focusing on the different mining methods. For example, mine planning or blast design applications focusing on either underground or surface mining.
- Similarly, there’s also various specialist systems focusing on the mining of a particular resource type. For example, certain planning tools focusing on specifically on the coal industry.
- These systems are often tightly coupled combinations of certain machines or instrumentation with the software product. These can include drilling systems equipment or measuring systems used for survey.
We’ve been involved in a number of APM efforts in the mining industry in the past, but these factors make it difficult to get an understanding of the overall application portfolio of the organisation. In addition, given the lack of reference material each organisation is left to their own devices to try and provide this context.
Due to this, Real IRM decided to attempt the development of a Application Reference model for the mining industry. Industry specific reference models, such as this Telemanagement Forum’s Application Framework (or TAM) exist.
Step 1: ID vendors with software products specific to the mining industry
Step 2: Identify vendor applications
Step 4: Classify Applications Based on Type
For example, this mine is running different vendor systems in the Minerals & Metals processing space (Siemens, OSIsoft & Wonderware)Possibly due to different mines through acquisitionOpportunity to standardise on one vendor – invest in one set of skills, license costs, support, etc.
