Case Study: a leading world’s drink company reduces application estate costs with Decision Focus

Application Portfolio Management Decision Focus supporting Application Portfolio Management will play a key part in reducing the cost of running the application estate by 20%

a leading world's drink company faced a significant challenge in managing its global application estate. Data was spread across multiple sources in different formats, making it difficult to gain a consistent, up-to-date overview. This lack of visibility prevented them from effectively measuring application value and identifying optimization opportunities to reduce costs as part of a major IS transformation program. They selected Decision Focus to implement its Application Portfolio Management (APM) solution to address this.

Decision Focus established a single, role-based inventory of the company's applications, enabling data ownership to be federated to application owners to keep information current. The solution provided a method to categorize applications and identify areas for improvement. As a result, the client gained the visibility needed to drive optimization and expects to reduce the cost of running its application estate by 20%, bringing spending in line with industry averages. Decision Focus was instrumental in embedding these new processes across the organization.
