The Challenge
Across various merger and acquisition activities over the course of several years, our client needed to understand their existing technology portfolio to streamline and consolidate systems across the enterprise, with the goal of reducing their application inventory and reducing costs due to redundant systems and functions.
Our Partner
Our client is a one of the Northeast’s leading healthcare organizations, a not-for-profit with 17 hospitals, more than 500 patient care locations, over 36,000 team members, and 7,000-plus physicians. It facilitated over 2.5 million patient visits and generated over $6.9 billion in revenue in 2020.
Our Solution
Discovery & Understanding
Worked closely with internal teams, including interviewing with various functional team members, to understand their current IT application portfolio and define data collection methodology.
Inventory & Analysis
After our discovery and understanding efforts, the Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager was implemented to perform a network and application scanning to create an inventory dashboard for efficient data collection and analysis.
Rationalization
Once the inventory collection and analysis had concluded, our team made recommendations on systems and applications to either decommission, consolidate, or keep within the application portfolio, delivering a final recommendations report and roadmap.
The Result
- $9,580,000 in Cost Savings over 3 Years
- Evaluated more than 860 Applications
- Identified 325 for Further Evaluation
- Potential to Decrease Applications by 224
