Application rationalisation

Streamline your IT portfolio with application rationalisation tools to cut costs and improve efficiency.

Application rationalisation identifies redundant, outdated, or underused applications. Changing or removing unoptimised assets improves efficiency in business processes and costs.

In short it’s about making sure every application serves a clear purpose and aligns with your goals.

Over time, organisations accumulate applications due to changing needs, mergers, or ad hoc purchases, leading to overwhelmed systems. Application rationalisation tools help declutter your systems by spotting unnecessary apps.
