Roadmapping
These business questions enable your company to coordinate IT change efforts so change is efficient and fast.
The business question What is our roadmap? provides an overview of application lifecycles including the predecessor and successor applications. It helps you to know which applications are approaching end-of-life but have no defined successor application so that you can plan, communicate, and take corrective action for applications that are at risk.
The business question What is our landscape? provides insights to the business capabilities and the applications that provide functional support to the business capabilities. The visualization represents a functional decomposition of your application landscape that provides insight to the organizations and the business capabilities they execute. It allows you to visualize application KPIs and color rules for rapid analysis to understand the current application landscape and plan your IT portfolio roadmap.
The business question What is our target architecture? shows the business support provided by applications to business capabilities and the organizations that use the applications. The visualization provides a high-level perspective of how IT supports the business and which organizations use an application to what purpose. The analytics ensure that you identify potential redundancies or gaps in IT support and highlight risk where multiple applications are used to fulfill business capabilities.
