Application Portfolio Optimization

Reduce IT costs and reveal hidden value by optimizing application portfolios

The need for application portfolio optimization is clear. According to Gartner Research, 40-80% of IT budgets are spent on the maintenance and enhancement of software applications. With Planview Enterprise's Application Portfolio Optimization capabilities, you can find hidden value in your business by dramatically reducing application maintenance spending in a matter of months. Planview Enterprise delivers enhanced visibility into your application portfolio, allowing you to answer the following questions:

• What is the total cost of ownership of my applications?
• Where can I reduce costs and redundancies?
• Can our technology adequately support business growth?
• How can I institute effective application portfolio management processes?

Achieve Visibility into Applications and Drive Out Costs

Planview Enterprise uses an ongoing, three-stage process to optimize your application portfolio. Inventory your current applications, assess business value, and take action by launching lifecycles that automatically phase out redundant or low-value applications. This reveals total cost of ownership and helps you make better decisions around funding your application portfolio.

Drive Efficiency and Enable Enterprise Architecture Compliance

In addition to cutting spending, an optimized application portfolio improves performance by reducing the number of applications supported, increasing efficiency, and reducing your IT workload. You can also manage optimization to comply with your organization's enterprise architecture standards.
