Associating cost and consumption with applications and services help infrastructure and operations professionals prioritize work, plan budgets, and understand the business critically.

Prioritizing application areas based on business-fitness, known problems, and costs splits application rationalization efforts into manageable pieces. These views of the portfolio empower application owners to make informed life cycle decisions and measure fitness using a common language and shared understanding.
