Where to begin

The application portfolio is at the core of your company's IT landscape and running applications usually constitute the largest part of IT spending. Alfabet helps you gain insight about your application portfolio so that you can make strategic decisions about the application architecture and IT costs, and ensure that the IT support to the business is consistent and reliable. The health of your application landscape will have a direct impact on the success of the business capabilities they support.

Here's how you can begin:

	Focus on the business questions in the Governance and Transparency sections to ensure accountability for the assets in your IT and understand the current state of your as-is landscape.
	Next focus on the business questions in the Rationalization and Roadmapping sections in order to understand functional redundancies and dependencies in your IT as a basis to coordinate IT change efforts.
	Now you're ready to explore the business questions in the Risk and Cloud sections to ensure continuity to the most critical areas of your business and identify cloud candidates in alignment with your migration strategy.
