The application inventory phase consists of collecting information from different viewpoints: descriptive, functional, financial, technical, etc.
Drawing up a Technology Inventory
Similarly to applications, HOPEX IT Business Management enables to draw up an inventory of available technologies and to collect information according to different criteria.
Managing the Data Used in the Application Assets
You can inventory data and link them to the applications that use them.
Evaluating Application Assets
Each application manager can evaluate applications for which he/she is responsible based on three criteria: business, functional and technological. See Evaluating Application Criticality.
The Portfolio Manager can evaluate the application assets he/she supervises by creating an application portfolio and associating with it additional evaluation criteria.
