Application Rationalization
Utilizing IT Cadre's Visualization Engineering® Methodology to streamline your portfolio
September 13, 2021 by Josh Martin, Senior Director of Software Engineering at IT Cadre
Today, many organizations are overwhelmed with technology that is sometimes duplicate, not fully integrated, and subject to an increasing cyber threat. Application rationalization is a critical element of portfolio management and can help organizations determine where duplications exist and where to invest. Determining where to start is often where organization's struggle in this process but these efforts often focus solely on feature overlap and cost savings.
Organizational and operational improvement should also be part of any digital transformation. Clearly defined and observable goals are critical for success - and make decisions easier for leaders. Identifying the right goals (and constraints) requires business partner input and buy in. Otherwise, application rationalization will stay purely in the IT realm and miss opportunities for organization-wide improvement.
At IT Cadre, we bring leadership, innovation, and experience focused on helping organizations achieve their goals. Our engineers create a single Current State diagram that ties business operations to underlying systems and data - highlighting gaps, overlaps, and opportunities for improvement. IT Cadre then works with organizations to develop an achievable, point-in-time Future State to meet the desired goals for the organization - both for operations and IT.
This approach tackles rationalization objectively - rapidly meeting our customer's goals and achieving their vision.
