Resource Allocation
Business Benefits
Liberate application management resources to lower operating costs and boost efficiencies.
CIOs must modernize legacy applications to best support their organizations. But with fewer resources available for new, high-value initiatives, this ability is impaired. This is especially true as knowledge of core applications diminishes over time or becomes isolated in the hands of only a select few. Organizations must ensure that its professionals can get 'up-to-speed' and quickly be productive on any application as priorities emerge.
Prioritizing initiatives that yield more efficient and adaptable operations similarly must also be achieved. But with limited understanding of complex application portfolio's structure and business value, this can be a challenge. Only with business-centric insights into applications and metrics, including function points, can application portfolios optimize value for the organization.

Enterprise Application Modernization through:
Application Portfolio Analysis Enhances Productivity
Ongoing application maintenance and enhancement activities consume the bulk of IT budgets. As a result, it is imperative that businesses can streamline the process of executing needed changes to enterprise applications. The Modernization Workbench offers rich application documentation and analysis capabilities. For instance, users can rely on a powerful impact analysis capability to avoid unintended results stemming from modifications - in 87% less time than manual approaches. The result is that applications can be quickly realigned with business needs -- 50% more quickly in many cases, according to customer-led studies.
Application Portfolio Management Focuses Effort on Priorities
To prioritize application remediation activities, managers must understand where problems exist within their application portfolios. Rather than relying on high-level scanners that reveal little about the targeted applications, the Modernization Workbench provides both application portfolio management level insights as well the deep understanding needed by development professionals. Managers can investigate metrics dashboards and business process models that reveal where resource-draining problems lie. Technical users can then drill deeper into their applications with the Modernization Workbench to discover precisely how to execute needed application modernizations.
Application Modernization Reduces Maintenance Burdens
Complex, aging applications can drain resources away from higher-value activities. The Modernization Workbench enables organizations to uncover inefficiencies such as non-standard and dead code that make daily maintenance activities a challenge. Through its enterprise application modernization capabilities, the platform can readily extract these problem areas, leaving a more efficient and maintainable application. In other cases, application maintenance may be burdened by applications that are increasingly unsupported. Through its business rule management and application modeling features, the Modernization Workbench ensures that the modernized legacy application retains the business logic your organization has depended on.
