IT rationalization
Optimizing IT infrastructure, both hardware and software, is difficult but increasingly vital. The pace of change means that today’s transformative systems are tomorrow's legacy. By closely monitoring and measuring the performance and cost/benefit of IT investments, you can plan and anticipate the changes you need to make

BALANCING BENEFIT, COST AND RESOURCES
IT rationalization makes big demands on Enterprise Architecture
Looking beyond cost-cutting
While reducing costs is a vital goal of IT rationalization, too much focus on reducing costs can lead to missed opportunities.
Use proven methods to give best results
Refine your selections for rationalization candidates and go beyond cost cutting. For example, using Gartner’s methodology within the OrbusInfinity platform means you can decide to Tolerate, Invest, Migrate, or Eliminate applications or infrastructure while keeping business goals in focus.
