Due to years of disparate IT initiatives, the R&D business unit faced challenges with its application portfolio. There was a high cost to maintain applications that delivered little value to the business. Technology sprawl with multiple applications providing similar functionality existed. There was high risks associated with unpredictable software products or vendors, and purchased software licenses going unused.
Verista leveraged our Application Rationalization framework and accelerators to develop a strategic roadmap to quantify the value, cost, and risk associated with each application. We performed in-depth discovery, from both a technology and business perspective.
