Address applications sprawl with Applications Rationalization

Applications Sprawl. A portfolio of applications that is now out of control. For good reasons, this portfolio was built up over time, across business units and geographies, through growth and acquisition. But now it is an obstacle to your success. You spend too much of your IT budget on management and maintenance, on legacy infrastructure and software technologies.

Change? Agility is hampered due to the inflexibilities of your applications. Innovation? The costs to maintain that applications portfolio, and the IT infrastructure it runs on, mean you have too little left to spend on new projects for the business. Redundant or duplicate applications? You know they’re out there, consuming incremental resources without incremental value. Costs? Are out of control, and increasingly threatens your ability to invest at all in innovation or new projects. You have a vision for your future, technology strategies that are aligned with your business strategies. However, moving to that future state looks to be almost impossible.

HP recommends strongly that you begin your transformation journey with an applications rationalization project that inventories your applications while assessing cost, quality, risk, TCO and business value and that not only defines a future state consistent with your business and IT strategies, but develops your transformation roadmap of actionable projects to realize that future. HP Portfolio Rationalization Assessments provide the best and fastest way to make that future real.
