Application Discovery

Strengthen visibility into your portfolio and ready yourself for rationalization with application discovery.

Many application portfolio managers try to jump to rationalizing and roadmapping their portfolio without having a strong grasp on what their applications do and who is using them. Apply application-capability mapping to investigate into your business and your portfolio and ready yourself for the next stages of building an application portfolio strategy.


Your Challenge

  • Application sprawl can exist in even the most mature organizations and this lack of oversight translates to high and unnecessary costs.
  • Shadow IT intensify inefficient spending and causes even more dire issues of high application risk.
  • Without understanding what applications your organization has, you cannot overcome these issues.

Our Solution

  • Apply capability mapping to investigate how the business operates and using technology to learn more about your applications you manage and ones you didn’t even know were there.
  • Define and document your full portfolio with a detailed application inventory for both IT and business stakeholders.
  • Initiate the steps to determine what applications should be prioritized for rationalization
