Many companies today have thousands of applications scattered across their organization. Because of this, they may unknowingly own multiple copies of the same applications or have overlapping functionality. Moreover, all the applications in their portfolio may pose different levels of risks to their company. When companies need an application portfolio management solution to manage their applications, they may employ manual tracking processes through spreadsheets or custom-built, in-house solutions, making it difficult to govern, optimize and align applications to business capabilities and infrastructure.
APM allows you to:
- Centralize your application inventory to manage your company’s applications in one place
- Reduce duplicate applications and functionality
- Identify, understand and manage application and technical risks
- Make better decisions around application ownership, management and maintenance
Simply put, APM is an efficient way to manage all your company’s applications. If your company is currently using ServiceNow and has thought about starting an APM process but isn’t yet ready to license the complete APM module in ServiceNow, RSM can help.
