| The technology infrastructure at most
organizations have been put in place to meet business needs felt at different
points in time. Over the years, business requirements have changed dramatically,
yet the underlying technology infrastructure has not kept pace. Coupled
with this has been the trail-blazing technology changes brought on by
the Internet Revolution and the promises of Net based Business Services.
As if this were not enough, the tremendous business pressures, calling
for real-time, 24x7 business cycles, closer integration with clients,
partners and suppliers, and rapid changes to business processes and rules
have increased demands on technology departments.
All these challenges have left IS management looking for new ways to
manage their Application Portfolios. Reduction of cost of ownership and
extracting most value out of historically large technology investments
through legacy lifecycle extension is high on the agenda.
Saggezza addresses these issues through a combination of operational
cost reduction, using Global Delivery Models, and legacy lifecycle extension
and replacement programs. The goal is to dramatically improve Return on
Investment by making applications more effective in the face of changing
requirements and more efficient in terms of cost, quality and time-to-market.
