The lack of comprehensive, real-time visibility into hardware inventory, software usage, and requirements negatively impacts the ability to accurately forecast capital and operational expenditures (CapEx and OpEx), identify ways to streamline asset lifecycle management programs, and reduce costs.

User onboarding and offboarding, end-of-life systems, lease agreements, hardware performance issues, software licensing, and more all impact budget forecasting and allocation of IT resources to support business needs. Unfortunately, this information is spread across multiple siloed systems and spreadsheets - or it is known anecdotally by managers but not readily accessible.

In addition, IT teams often lack a comprehensive inventory of hardware, who is using it, and where it is located to identify ways to use assets sitting in inventory, reallocate assets when another user upgrades to a different device or leaves, or combine asset refresh cycles with OS migration programs. Leaders also lack the information they need to rationalize applications and reduce licensing costs.

 

ReadyWorks aggregates data coming from your discovery tools, systems of record, and spreadsheets into one platform – no CMDB cleanup required. (ReadyWorks does that for you!) This data is then used to update inventory, accurately correlate hardware and software with user information (e.g., location, department, requirements, and policies), identify systems and software that are nearing end of life, and prepare accurate forecasts of upcoming IT investment requirements.

Digital Platform Conductor (DPC)

Digital platform conductors are a new category of integration software that expand the scope and capabilities of iPaaS to solve the challenge of growing business system complexity. Like iPaaS, DPCs offer a library of pre-built industry applications connectors but are accessible for non-developers through:

COST SAVINGS:

Application rationalization reduces both licensing costs and labor required to support legacy infrastructure.

mergers-aquisitions
RISK MITIGATED:

Application incompatibility with new OS and hardware is identified. Users and systems are not migrated until issues are resolved, mitigating the risk of business disruption.

icon-adapt-infrastructure_reversed
MIGRATIONS ACCELERATED:

Eliminate months of data discovery and application testing. Application categorization greatly reduces the number of apps that need to be tested.
