About this talk
Rationalizing an application portfolio is no longer the realm of elite organizations and it can no longer only be driven by cost conscious CIO’s. The survivability of the enterprise rests in its ability to respond with certainty and agility in a constantly churning environment. Rationalizing your application estate does result in streamlined IT processes and reduced costs. The secret value unleashed in a well-executed application rationalization program is better measured in the elevated conversations it causes between the business and IT organizations, and in its ability to drive radical transformation. A little disruption can go a long way!
