Rationalizing 10,000+ Applications With AI
- Industry: Enterprise
- Service: AI-Powered Rationalization
- Engagement: 10,000+ Applications
An enterprise application estate had grown to more than 10,000 applications, creating significant challenges around software overlap, cost, audit exposure, and cybersecurity risk.
Situation
Applications had developed across different business units without consistent categorization.
This made it difficult to:
- Identify duplicate applications
- Detect functional overlap
- Establish rationalization priorities
- Reduce unnecessary software
- Manage audit exposure
- Control the growing application attack surface
Action
ProTeam applied AI-driven categorization across the complete application inventory.
Applications were classified into functional categories including:
- Productivity
- Collaboration
- Design
- Analytics
- Security
- Other enterprise functions
The analysis identified overlapping application clusters and generated prioritized rationalization recommendations.
Result
The AI-driven analysis identified approximately 1,000 redundant applications within the 10,000+ application estate.
The resulting rationalization strategy generated $5M+ in annualized savings while also reducing audit exposure and cybersecurity risk.
