In
the Federal government, as in most large organizations, there are
thousands of overlapping information systems with redundant
functionality. Our systematic approach to identify, analyze and
rationalize an organization's legacy applications can achieve as much
as an 80% reduction in systems and costs. By starting with a baseline
portfolio of applications detailed information is then gathered about
the systems so informed decisions can be made. Based on the information
gathered, teams conduct Business Case Analysis (BCA) on the set of
systems to identify which systems will make up the long-term portfolio
of systems. While this sounds simple, cultural resistance and
stove-piped applications impose change management challenges. These
challenges are overcome by employing techniques to help the customer
approach the problem differently. RGS employs our Integrated Change
Management methodology to help the customer(s) apply legacy application
reduction techniques to themselves, rather than having it done to them
arbitrarily through budget cuts.
