Application Portfolio Analysis

By accurately consolidating multiple levels of information into an enterprise-wide IT-asset warehouse management system, our IT Discovery product helps companies keep track of system inventories, resources, and interrelationships. This automated solution provides detailed impact analysis reports for centralized and distributed IT systems. This enables you to more effectively move forward in IT modernization-isolate and eliminate old databases and languages.

Automated Global Assessment

IT Discovery provides the CIO and CTO with a centralized view of up-to-date information needed to analyze the entire IT environment. This "bigger picture," observed over time, facilitates more effective understanding, management, and maintenance of IT environments, enabling companies to define and analyze all application assets in order to make informed decisions about the future of their IT environments.

IT Discovery provides fast and convenient access to application inventory and dependency information and can be refreshed on a periodic basis thus ensuring the availability of updated data on an ongoing basis.

Improved Decision Making Through Impact Analysis

By performing an in-depth inventory assessment of the interrelationships and interdependencies of existing systems and business processes, the potential impact of a modernization project can be effectively identified. By analyzing this information, the best, least risky, and most cost-effective modernization path can be determined based on your company's specific IT environment and needs.

The IT Discovery solution consolidates all strategic system information, extracted from a variety of sources including libraries, directories, and source control systems containing programs in numerous languages, job control and scripts, TP monitors, log files, scheduling, and more, into a comprehensive metadata repository.

This repository-based solution provides easy access to your data through the IT Discovery Query Facility, Web-based ad hoc queries, 3rd party OLAP tools, and ODBC. Event notification and the ability to generate customized, in-depth reports are also standard. The daily data can also be integrated with other organizational data sources, including change management, resource usage statistics, human resource information, and more.
