INTERFACE Nebraska
Presented by Ed Toner • Chief Information Officer; State of Nebraska
An Enterprise Vision for Business Applications in the public sector is much like other large legacy companies in the private sector. The State of Nebraska has essentially evolved through mergers and acquisitions (we simply refer to the business organizations as Agencies). This silo approach over time has resulted in a disproportionate number of duplicate applications and services. Following Gartner's TIME framework (Tolerate, Invest, Migrate, Eliminate), APM (Application Portfolio Management) utilizes a fact-based process of application categorization, assessment and rationalization. APM is an iterative process utilized to manage, architect and maintain an organization's portfolio of applications. Each iteration provides new segments of information which are subsequently added into the application portfolio.
