As an EA product, it is very helpful to know which business capability an application or platform is providing but I would argue/suggest there should always be at least 2 business capabilities. The "last tier" capability should be the application capability. Having this capability identified could help limit redundant applications. If you have multiple applications that offer the same capability (from an application perspective) maybe you can save costs by not having 4 of them. Or is this already captured somewhere else within this space?
