Application portfolio management

The application portfolio is at the core of your company's IT portfolio. The health of your application landscape will have a direct impact on the success of the business capabilities they support. Alfabet FastLane supports you to maintain your application portfolio and understand it with the help of business relevant questions that address the most critical aspects relevant for your business.

An up-to-date inventory of all applications running in the company is key to understand dependencies between the application portfolio and the business capabilities that the applications support. Documenting the users and organizations responsible for the applications ensures that those who may have information about or a stake in the application can be contacted.

Adhering to best practice procedures for lifecycle management, the lifecycles of applications and the technologies they are dependent can be understood to secure that the applications and the business are not at risk. This allows you to understand the redundancies and overlapping support of business capabilities as you define a roadmap to simplify architectural dependencies and align the IT portfolio with your business strategy. Knowledge of your application portfolio will help you in your migration to the cloud, allowing you to identify cloud candidates, decide on your migration strategy, and speed up the decision and planning process .
