state3 Enterprise / APM

Application Portfolio Management.

A spreadsheet can tell you which applications you own. It cannot tell you which business capability each one supports, what depends on it, or whether the one next to it does the same job. APM connects applications to the capabilities, infrastructure and integrations around them — which is usually where the consolidation opportunities you have been suspecting turn out to be.

What APM does

What you can see about an application.

Manage Understand the IT landscape

Across applications, infrastructure and the integrations between them.

  • On-prem, cloud and hybrid applications in one inventory
  • Ownership recorded against each application, not held in someone’s head
  • Capture both critical and at-risk systems
  • Track application and technology lifecycles end to end

Visualise Technology in business context

Maps that show how applications interact with infrastructure and the business.

  • Integration & dependency mapping for applications and infra
  • Application-to-business-capability map showing gaps and redundancies
  • Search to see how business activities or services are delivered
  • Trace which technology enables which key deliverables
  • Diagramming, current-state and future-state modelling

Decide Rationalise with confidence

Stop guessing what's redundant. See it.

  • Identify redundant, outdated or underutilised applications
  • Plan application rationalisation in alignment with capability strategy
  • Use impact reports to model the consequences before you commit

The point of connecting applications to everything around them is that the obvious answer is often wrong. Two systems look duplicated until you see they support different business processes. An application looks expensive until you see how much depends on it.

Application rationalisation

Identify candidates for retire, replace, retain or invest.

Infrastructure rationalisation

Find underused capacity and consolidation opportunities.

Capability mapping

Show how technology supports the business — at a glance.
