Reducing the complexity of your applications
Increased demand for new technologies and services. Pressure to reduce costs. Mergers and acquisitions. Ongoing IT challenges such as these are leading many businesses to consider IT consolidation. With a strong commitment toward your need to reduce total cost of ownership, the software consulting and development experts at HP Services can help you consolidate your applications - with less risk and zero interruption to your daily operations.
The right services to meet your consolidation needs
As we work with your IT team to undertake an Application Consolidation project, our focus is on helping you to:
- Identify applications that are duplicated, can be outsourced, or rendered obsolete
- Reduce the number of application instances and databases
- Migrate multiple instances of the applications from disparate platforms
- Standardize on single application and database solutions
- Tune the application's performance to meet your unique requirements
Our proven excellence in software consulting and development works to help you retain or improve the existing application functionality and data integrity before, during, and after consolidation. Detailed planning and management keep your project on track as we work through a proven approach that hinges on these key services:
Application Consolidation assessment - Concerned that some applications can't be combined? Or that users won't get the same services levels they used to? What about your existing resources? We assess your business applications and databases, taking business drivers, impact of change, TCO, and ROI all into consideration. You'll get a clear picture of the necessary steps toward a successful consolidation.
Pilot Application Consolidation - By piloting a subset of applications, rather than the entire environment, you get the assurance that your business will benefit from the consolidation. There is no better way to help ensure that your project will be on time and on budget.
