Use your IT budget to drive your business

You could be spending up to 80 per cent of your applications budget on maintenance. Reduce these costs by a third with our Application Portfolio Management Framework (APMF).

To remain competitive, your business needs to make room for new ways of working, while making best use of your budget. This means improving the efficiency of your existing applications — reducing the costs of maintenance and making your businesses more flexible.

Our APMF makes it easier for you to achieve your business goals, helping you to:

  • improve application quality and performance
  • cut the costs of managing and maintaining your applications
  • pursue new business opportunities with a flexible portfolio.

We tackle the issue of ageing and redundant systems head on, helping you understand which of your business processes — and the applications that serve them — still have business value. We then work with you to develop a comprehensive roadmap, guiding you toward a more manageable application portfolio.

CGI’s APMF approach

Our Application Portfolio Management experts work with you to assess your applications and develop metrics to measure their performance against your business and technology objectives. We then recommend whether applications should be modernised, re-platformed, migrated, decommissioned, consolidated or replaced.

Working to optimise your application portfolio, we concentrate our APMF solution on identifying issues and improving performance.

Identifying the issues

  • Risk landscape assessments — helping you identify your business risks.
  • Business capabilities and value assessments — developing your understanding of what you want to achieve with IT.
  • Application estate discovery — identifying the systems and processes you use.

Improving performance

  • Application metrics development — creating ways for you to measure application performance.
  • Application rationalisation — reducing the number and complexity of your existing applications and systems.
  • Application transformation roadmaps — helping you work out how to get to a new, optimised portfolio estate.
