As enterprises grows, the increase in applications often leads to complex and sprawling portfolios, resulting in duplication, escalating costs, mounting technical debt, and suppressed innovation. NuSummit’s Application Portfolio Rationalization Assessment aims to simplify maintenance by identifying applications that deliver maximum value to your organization so to align with the business goals and objectives.
Through our application portfolio rationalization assessment, enterprises can make informed decisions about which applications to keep, retire, consolidate, modernize, or replace. This will help your organization enhance productivity and efficiency, while reducing operational expenses (Opex) and the total cost of ownership (TCO).
Discovery and Inventory
Identify and catalog all applications in your portfolio, including purpose, functionality, user base, dependencies, and technical details.
Business Alignment
Understand your business objectives, strategies, and priorities to align your organization’s application portfolio’s performance with the business goals.
Assessment and Evaluation
Evaluate applications based on criteria like business value, usage patterns, technical debt, maintenance costs, and future compatibility.
Prioritization and Categorization
Categorize applications with business value consideration of ‘Contain’, ‘Maintain’ or to ‘Invest’ more,
based on assessment results.
Cost Analysis
Analyze the total cost of ownership (TCO) for each application, considering factors like licensing fees, infrastructure costs, maintenance expenses, and personnel resources.
Risk Assessment
Evaluate risks associated with each application, including security vulnerabilities, compliance issues, and operational risks.
Rationalization Roadmap
Develop a roadmap with recommended actions for each application category, including timeline, resource allocation, and dependencies.
Execution and Implementation
Collaborate with your team to execute the rationalization plan, including retiring applications, consolidating functionalities, modernizing/migrating applications, or replacing outdated ones.
