User journey: Technology Portfolio Management

The technology portfolio constitutes the nuts-and-bolts of your company's IT portfolio and is critical to the seamless operation of the applications that support your business capabilities. An up-to-date inventory of your company's technologies is key to understanding dependencies between the application portfolio and the technology architecture and mitigating risk to the IT infrastructure. Alfabet 's technology portfolio management capabilities ensures that you can provide current and reliable information about the technologies in use, the vendors that provide the technologies, which applications use the technologies, and the business capabilities that the technologies support.
