Are you failing to maintain accurate, up-to-date visibility across your application portfolio, putting your organisation at risk of compliance failures, inefficient IT spend, and strategic misalignment?

This self-assessment equips you to transform portfolio chaos into a strategic asset.

How This Helps You
You gain complete, auditable control over your application inventory, transforming a high-risk blind spot into a strategic decision-making asset. Each assessment question targets real-world governance gaps: unlicensed software deployments, undocumented integrations, unsupported platforms, and misaligned business ownership. By answering them systematically, you uncover hidden technical debt, eliminate redundant applications, and justify modernisation budgets with data-driven evidence. The consequence of inaction? Escalating maintenance costs, security incidents due to unpatched systems, regulatory penalties for non-compliant software, and an inability to respond to digital transformation demands. With this self-assessment, you future-proof your IT landscape, align spend with business value, and position yourself as a proactive enabler of organisational agility.

- IT Portfolio Managers who need to rationalise legacy applications and report on portfolio health
- Enterprise Architects establishing a baseline for digital transformation or cloud migration programmes
