A Systematic Approach of Application Portfolio Rationalization in Pharmaceutical & Healthcare Domain
Abstract: In recent years, organisations have increasingly heard concerns from their pharmaceutical and healthcare customers regarding challenges within their application portfolios. These challenges commonly include legacy systems, obsolete technologies, application redundancy, lack of standardisation, limited agility and scalability, poor functional alignment, high total cost of ownership, elevated maintenance risks, and substantial licensing and support costs. Application Portfolio Rationalization (APR) is a structured approach designed to address and mitigate these challenges. The primary objective of application portfolio analysis is to evaluate customer?centric applications across multiple dimensions, including technology, risk, and functional alignment. This paper gives a view that how APR provides a systematic framework for developing comprehensive application inventories and making informed disposition decisions aligned with current IT strategies and evolving business requirements.
