Application Portfolio Analysis

Leveraging the Lionbridge APA Framework 

Lionbridge experts are often called in by our enterprise customers to perform an Application Portfolio Analysis (APA), using our custom assessment framework.  We utilize a quantitative methodology to help identify those applications which produce the best ROI, and those which consume with most resources and generate the least return.  This helps CIOs make key purchase, maintenance, and development decisions. To summarize:

• We begin by gathering key objectives, constraints and critical success factors for your business infrastructure.
• Next, we identify key user segments and current service levels.
• Then we use a weighted ranking system for your application portfolio itself, based on factors of TCO, criticality, and volatility. This creates a numeric "Value Add Index" for each version of each app.
• From there we construct the overall roadmap for controlling your portfolio over time

The Lionbridge APA framework provides you with deep insight into your application portfolio from a variety of perspectives (cost, efficiency, company objectives).
