Well managed IT organizations achieve greater efficiencies by using fewer applications, fewer databases, less software and hardware suppliers, more consistent use of data standards, and higher overall levels of standards enforcement. As applications age they become more costly to run and maintain, and their strategic influence gradually diminishes. A full application portfolio assessment can identify opportunities to rationalize the applications environment which can enable significant cost savings and efficiencies.
Our Approach
The W Group approach to portfolio assessments combines best-in-class methodology with experienced practitioners that results in a detailed and comprehensive overview of the current applications environment. The W Group uses a proprietary scoring algorithm that measures the specific effectiveness of each application. The scoring results become a key driver for portfolio rationalization and optimization. The final assessment will enable IT organizations to recognize opportunities for:
- Greater Strategic Alignment of Applications
- Fewer Applications
- Fewer Databases
- Fewer Customizations
- Less Complexity
- Greater Technology Standardization
- Fewer Interfaces
- Greater Software Commonality
