Application Survey

In my last post, I started to put the theory of Application Rationalization into practice, first by Phase 1: setting up an application inventory by doing an application survey. After you have completed Phase 1, you start with Phase 2: the rationalization of the applications you have inventoried. Once you have completed these two phases, you can consolidate (Phase 3), after which you can do a periodical evaluation of all your applications: portfolio management (Phase 4).
