An inventory portfolio groups a set of applications.
Creating an inventory portfolio consists of defining all the information (comparison criteria, timelines, etc.) that will allow you to assess applications to be implemented.
*A portfolio enables representation of all investments of an enterprise (or department) necessary to carry out changes required to achieve strategic objectives. It comprises a set of objects (for example applications for a an inventory portfolio) to be compared based on comparison criteria associated with the portfolio.
You can also create inventory portfolios for technologies. The technology portfolio definition uses the same methods than applications portfolios.
