The launch of the Gartner Special Report “Application Strategy: Overhaul Your Application Portfolio”

by Scott Nelson  |  August 16, 2010  |  1 Comment

Gartner gets a lot of questions with regard to Application Strategy. Clients don’t always realize that many of the questions relate to the general topic of Application Overhaul. Simply put, apps overhaul has to do with creating a sustainable plan for not only modernizing your portfolio, but keeping it agile and relevant to solving business problems. To that end, my team has been working on a special report on the topic of Application Overhaul. I’m happy to announce that it is now available at 

http://www.gartner.com/technology/research/application-overhaul/report/index.jsp

We took a little different approach on this report. It is not designed to answer all questions that a client might ask. Instead, we broke it into workstreams that we find that clients should address if they want to be successful in these area. These workstreams are:

–Strategy
–Modernize
–Rationalize
–Simplify
–Governance
–Standardization

Each are has research on some of the main questions that we help clients deal with. I invite you to take a look and give me your feedback. We will be producing followup research for this report and would like to include the questions and feedback in that follow up work
