Application Portfolio Advisor: guiding organizations to strategically optimize their applications

We're happy to announce the launch of a new module in the Txture platform.

It is called the Application Portfolio Advisor, and is designed to help organizations maximize the value of their cloud portfolio, through cost optimization, GreenOps and strategic application modernization.

It combines the disciplines of Enterprise Architecture Management with FinOps and cloud modernization to:

• Create a transparent overview of your current IT estate, whether in the cloud or on-premises
• Highlighting business-critical applications that should be modernized to unlock more cloud-native benefits
• Get automated optimization recommendations to save cloud costs and minimize your IT carbon footprint
• Expose areas of risk and tech obsolescence

The Application Portfolio Advisor is ideal for IT decision makers, enterprise architects and cloud finops teams. It provides them with a clear overview of their as-is situation and help them prioritize initiatives to see concrete value from their applications in the cloud.

Why did we create the Application Portfolio Advisor?

Research has shown that over three quarters of all workloads exist in either public or private cloud, moving to nearly 90% in the next 3 years. This indicates a point of saturation and maturity in the cloud adoption and mirrors the priorities shifting within our own customer base.

The need is less about getting to the cloud now but how it functions and what it costs when it gets there. On the flip side, what the strategy will be if the application is to remain on premises.

The challenge organizations face with maturing the application estate becomes difficult when you consider the complexity and scale of the issue. Like painting the golden gate bridge, organizations are now in a constant state of migration but with a distinct lack of key resources to make this happen. Enterprise architects face a severe shortage in the industry with large enterprises facing the challenge of scale of the application stack and the mid-sized market simply lacking the scale of their own organization to have a dedicated role.

Txture seeks to fill this gap, to simplify the conversation and put the power back into the hands of the individuals who face the most pressure to innovate.
