Whitepaper - The Application Portfolio Problem: A Framework for Reducing Application Sprawl
Most enterprises do not have a single application problem. They have a portfolio problem.
Over time, organizations accumulate SaaS platforms, departmental applications, custom-built systems, duplicate solutions, legacy technologies and cloud workloads. Each decision may have made sense when it was made, but together they can create an application landscape that is difficult to govern, secure, integrate and afford.
This whitepaper introduces a practical four-stage framework:
Inventory → Rationalize → Modernize → Govern
The approach helps organizations build a trusted view of their application estate, determine which applications should be retired, consolidated, rehosted, modernized or retained, and establish governance to prevent sprawl from returning.
What You will Learn
Inventory: Build a trusted application record covering ownership, usage, technology, cost and dependencies.
Rationalize: Evaluate applications based on business value and technical health and assign the right disposition.
Modernize: Move forward in manageable phases while protecting business behavior, data and critical dependencies.
Govern: Establish ownership, lifecycle reviews, intake rules and a living application inventory.
Discover how a disciplined application portfolio strategy can help free budget, lower risk and create a cleaner foundation for cloud, data and AI initiatives.
