BACKGROUND

The client is a privately-held company that has built a worldwide reputation for ethics and integrity in its dealings with customers, suppliers and employees, and for taking a long-term view when assessing business situations.  The focus of this engagement was on the client’s application rationalization effort. By definition, application rationalization is a process of reviewing the application inventory to determine which applications should be retired, retained, reposted, replatformed, refactored or reimagined. This is an important process for every enterprise in making investment or divestment decisions. The client’s goal was to refine the application portfolio to reduce costs and technical debt while driving modernization and innovation.

GOALS

• Design and develop Application Rationalization workshops working jointly with Program Lead
• Increase awareness of change management by continuously demonstrating the value of change enablement practices, services, and deliverables
• Deliver common change management services and deliverables, such as stakeholder inventory and analysis, change impact assessment, communications/engagement plan, and change strategy
