Solution
Application Rationalisation
Identify redundant applications, reduce licensing costs, and simplify your technology landscape with data-driven portfolio analysis.
The Challenge
Why application portfolios grow out of control
No single view of all applications across business units and geographies
Duplicate applications doing the same job with different vendors and licenses
Business-critical applications with no documented owner or support plan
Retirement decisions delayed because nobody understands the dependencies
How ArchNova Helps
Your workflow with ArchNova
Build your application inventory
Import from CMDBs, cloud providers, and procurement systems. AI enriches records with missing metadata — owners, costs, usage, and lifecycle status.
Analyse overlaps and health
AI identifies functional duplicates, underutilised applications, and end-of-life technology. Score every application on business value vs. technical health.
Plan rationalisation actions
Assign each application a disposition: Invest, Tolerate, Migrate, or Eliminate. Model the cost savings and risk for each scenario.
Execute and track savings
Create phased retirement plans with dependency checks. Track realised savings against targets in real-time dashboards.
