HCLTech Prizm employs a data-driven approach to map the “as-is” landscape, connecting applications to the business capabilities they support, and designing their ideal “to-be” future state. It supports multiple ways of data ingestion and provides comprehensive insights through a journey dashboard.

HCLTech Prizm serves as the unified platform for the continuous modernization and migration journeys:

1. Discovery & Correlation: It maps the landscape, correlates components, identifies dependencies, and sets up an EA/BA aligned portfolio repository.
2. Assessment: The platform supports accurate assessments to address goals such as deciding application lifecycle status, cloud migration disposition, decommissioning potential, portfolio rationalization, and identifying applications suitable for modernization.
3. Solution Planning & Execution: After assessments are complete, the platform helps in curating modernization and migration solutions tailored to the organization’s specific needs

The critical first step involves setting up the right foundation:

• Using inbuilt adapters to retrieve data from prevalent CMDBs

• Importing data from auto-discovery tools.
