All major corporations, especially communications providers, must deal with a large number of overlapping, disparate IT applications accumulated or acquired over the years. This ragtag portfolio of applications can hinder business agility, especially when they contain common or redundant customer and product information. Without a clear, detailed understanding of your application portfolio, it is difficult to know what actions to take, what dependencies exist, where the strengths and weaknesses lie from both business and technology perspectives, and how closely these applications align with business strategy and product/service strategy.
If you are involved with managing a portfolio of IT assets and applications, this webinar will be of value to you. You will learn:
- The key challenges and approaches to dealing with collections of disparate applications
- How to apply innovative techniques to inventory, examine and analyze your portfolio of applications on an ongoing basis
- How to develop a process to rationalize, streamline and consolidate your applications into modern platforms that align with business objectives and enable greater business agility
- How Verizon Business has leveraged this innovative approach to better understand, manage and rationalize its application portfolio
