What's new in the Utah release for Application Portfolio Management

[Lilly Souksamla]

Companies need to shift and pivot as strategies change.  Applications are added to the environment to support strategies but application sprawl starts to happen.  How do companies make decisions on which applications to retire, replace, or maintain and which applications support business strategy?  Application Portfolio Management enables companies to make real-time data driven decisions on which applications support business strategies helping companies reduce cost, minimize risk, and align with the business.  

  

We continue investing in our products to support our customers to address these challenges and be successful. Our innovations and updates for the Utah release are the following:  

• Enterprise Architecture Workspace 
• Digital Integration Management 

  

Enterprise Architecture Workspace  

A completely new and redesigned interface to enable Enterprise Architects ease of use with consolidated information in one interface. Architects can make faster decisions on the application portfolio with a configurable home page, filter for relevant information, and easy to read scorecards.  Watch the Enterprise Architecture Workspace in action here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tkoY-duwWA 

Digital Integration Management   

Visibility of integrations between applications is made easier with Digital Integration Management.    Create digital integrations easily instead of using multiple screens and automatically create a new CMDB link when integrations are created saving data entry time.  Document digital Intergrations between business applications. Understand the impact when applications are retired to reduce risk to the business.   

Both capabilities are available via the ServiceNow Store.  See our Store announcement here:  https://www.servicenow.com/community/apm-blog/two-new-features-released-for-apm-via-the-servicenow-s... 

These two new capabilities available with the Utah release empower Enterprise Architects to align with the business, reduce costs, and minimize risk to the business by having visibility into the application portfolio and their impacts.
