Description

Application Portfolio Scoring uses AI to rate application health for rationalisation, enabling a leaner estate, by scoring inventory, cost, risk, usage, and technical debt, across IT strategy and portfolio management.

Business Problem

IT leaders need to know which applications to invest in, sunset, or consolidate, but cost, risk, usage, and technical-debt data live in different tools. Without a comparable view, rationalisation stalls and the estate keeps sprawling.

Solution

The AI applies scoring to application inventory, cost, risk, usage, and technical-debt data, producing portfolio health scores that rank applications for invest, tolerate, migrate, or retire decisions.

Expected Value

Increases the portfolio rationalization rate and the share of IT spend directed away from low-value applications.

Prerequisites
  • Historical application inventory, cost, risk, usage, and technical debt data are available with stable identifiers and sufficient coverage for the target workflow.
  • Source systems for IT strategy and portfolio management workflows expose the required records through a repeatable export or service interface.
  • A named business owner exists to review application portfolio health scores and confirm the action workflow.
