Without a system in place to help you determine which applications in your IT portfolio are being used, assess their value, and pinpoint when duplicate or obsolete applications are no longer adding value to your bottom line so you can dispose of them, chances are you're going to waste precious IT resources maintaining a sprawling, inefficient application portfolio.

According to a recent Forrester study, in order to tame this application sprawl, 60 percent of CIOs have already allocated budget for an application rationalisation project. In this white paper, explore in-depth information on:

• Why forward-thinking organizations are implementing applications rationalisation initiatives to tame costly sprawl
• The benefits of application reductions and modernisations, two key rationalisation strategies
• The ins and outs of implementing a rationalisation initiative
• And best practices to ensure a solid return on investment (ROI).
