A sprawling, unmanaged application portfolio can complicate your IT asset
management (ITAM) efforts. Without the right tools and processes, it’s hard to
know where your applications live, who uses them, and how much you’re paying for
everything. This lack of visibility can create significant complexities—especially if
your organization is growing rapidly. The faster your application portfolio grows, the
harder it is to track and manage.
Without clear visibility, it also becomes easy for technical debt to accumulate as your
assets age and quick fixes pile up. Outdated applications will continue to consume
resources, even if no one uses them. These ghost assets can haunt your balance
sheets and impact your ITAM success.
