Providing Business Intelligence for Applications
The application assessment capabilities of Micro Focus' modernization solution create a centralized, always-current warehouse of business and technical intelligence about the applications that run your business.
Detailed application insights allow your team to identify and execute modernization activities that re-align applications with business priorities.
Core IT systems automate the operations of every organization. Business processes from core banking to claims processing have become indistinguishable from the applications that execute them. So it is essential to modernize these applications to align with the business strategies and goals of the organization.
But for most large organizations this kind of flexibility is simply not possible. Applications have grown so technically complex that they cannot be modernized without significant cost and risk. To address this challenge requires business intelligence about your application portfolio.
Micro Focus' modernization solution delivers:
- business intelligence about the application portfolio that guides management decisions
- deep technical insights about the architecture and behavior of the application portfolio
- a central, standards-based repository which boosts collaboration across global teams
- intelligent feeds which provide the right information to the right user.
Application Intelligence Usage Scenarios
Application Modernization can take many forms, depending on your business needs. You may combine outsourcing, redevelopment, and SOA enablement as your ideal approach. Or, you could return applications to application maintenance mode, retire them, or even potentially replace them with a packaged application.
Regardless of your path toward modernization, there is one common requirement. You must have rich business and technical intelligence about your applications portfolio. This insight helps guide the whole modernization lifecycle, and allows you to:
- understand the business and technical structure of the application
- manage the application portfolio to prioritize modernization projects and allocate resources
- modernize applications to realign with business goals
- maintain the portfolio more efficiently to boost agility and cost reductions.
Micro Focus' modernization solution allows you to:
- provide application understanding
- initiate an application portfolio management practice
- reform application modernization projects
- support application maintenance activities.
