While businesses recognize the value of modernizing their application portfolios, they lack the insight to prioritize and scope these high value activities. Sophisticated mission critical applications have been developed over many years, across diverse environments and have been updated under tight time pressures. Documentation of these systems are rarely current. The complex nature of these applications makes it difficult to understand how they are structured to support business requirements and, in turn, where to make sound business investments. Development resources are focused on maintaining these systems instead of enhancing them. Business initiative and competitive advantage are undercut.

The Assessment offers a comprehensive solution for understanding application portfolios across many environments and platforms. The solution generates detailed information about the structure and function of even the largest and most complex systems. Information provided at the program and the application level empowers executives to make solid investment decisions and enables IT to identify, prioritize and execute development activities that realign applications with current business requirements. Extensive metrics, reports, diagrammatic views and querying tools support application modernization and other business initiatives.

Enterprise Analyzer delivers a wide array of tools and content aimed at supporting the spectrum of application knowledge requirements, from CIO dashboards to the most detailed program and field analysis a developer needs. EA scales to enable organizations to manage applications spanning hundreds of millions of lines of code with parallel access to hundreds of users.

With Enterprise Analyzer, organizations can build and maintain a centralized knowledge of their IT applications, regardless of age or technology. Authorized users can access EA’s structured repository according to the type and level of information required.
