Application Portfolio Rationalization

Leverage Adaptivity’s Blueprint4IT™ software to expose your application portfolio and uncover opportunities to eliminate redundancies, consolidate, optimize and outsource your applications

Are you suffering from application chaos due to mergers and acquisitions, unregulated deployment practices, and unfettered business demands?
Do you have a view of your application portfolio across your business so you can you quickly see opportunities for transformation?
Can you quickly determine which applications are end of life, which applications can be consolidated or eliminated?
Maybe you want to know which applications are candidates for the cloud?

It’s a well known fact that as much as 80% of the applications in most business environments are non-critical to revenue generation and can be reduced, eliminated or outsourced to managed providers or cloud deployments. The trick is figuring out which of your applications belongs in the 80% non-critical and which belong to the 20% critical categories. Understanding how your applications are spread across your business and how those applications are satisfying business demand is the first step in understanding your opportunity for application portfolio rationalization.

Adaptivity’s Business Value Chain and application portfolio affinity mapping, a key capacity in our Blueprint4Cloud software, gives you the ability to define your business value chain, align your applications across that value chain and generate a visual workload map exposing your redundant application deployments, common shared services, and your split between critical and non-critical applications. Leveraging the workload map, you can build your rationalization plans and priorities and set the stage for optimization and transformation.
