| In many organizations, legacy applications were written in silos primarily addressing their line of business functionality. These have undergone many modifications / up-gradations to keep up with changing business processes or been reengineered to match evolving business requirements. Over a period of time these applications provide diminishing support to business objectives and require higher costs to maintain. |
| Also there are many redundant applications which get created as an effort to provide solutions that are a need-of-the-hour. This creates a surge in IT portfolio which can be viewed as a valid depending on which side of the table one sits. In such a scenario, it is common place in many organizations to spend about 75-80% of their IT budget on application management / maintenance. |
| In order to launch a portfolio rationalization, IT has to create a strong foundation consisting of |
- Study the current portfolio to quantify the risks and benefits of an application in relation to its costs and benefits.
- Define the future state of the IT eco-system and also the path the legacy applications should take in the migration journey
- Build a strong knowledge foundation to help transition the application
- Optimize maintenance cost of current / legacy applications
- Analyze the portfolio against the future state defined
|
| Application portfolio rationalization must tie to the organization’s business objective to generate the benefits in the medium to long run |
|
 |
- Study and assessment of legacy applications
- Consulting on future state IT and path to rationalization
