Application Rationalization

Without leveraging multiple discovery sources, it is impossible to get a complete view of your entire application catalog across on-premises and SaaS environments. To reduce application sprawl, the first step is understanding all the applications you’ve paid for and how these applications are being used. Flexera provides multiple discovery methods to help you get a complete inventory across your on-premises, SaaS and cloud application environments.

Cleaning and updating application data using spreadsheets is a headache and never-ending task. Flexera automatically normalizes and enriches IT application data with application categories and other details to easily identify application redundancies and minimize risk from outdated versions in use.

According to the Flexera IT Priorities Report, the top three priorities for IT leaders are integrating AI, reducing costs and mitigating risk. To help achieve these goals, compare common application usage and costs to determine which applications should stay, which should go and if enterprise agreements should be consolidated for better terms and volume discounts.

To remove time and resource barriers for integrating AI, reduce technical debt brought on by application sprawl. To effectively make application rationalization decisions, you need clear visibility of application dependencies. Flexera helps you understand where your applications tie into existing business infrastructure and power organizational initiatives.
