It serves as a powerful decision engine, combining robust modeling with the management of business capabilities, application portfolios, information portfolios, and technology portfolios. Enterprise Architecture helps you decide whether to invest, sustain, or replace applications based on the business need aligned towards the organization goal. You can address business challenges such as: * Redundant applications for similar functions. * Increasing cost of owning and maintaining applications. * Increasing demand to upgrade the existing applications for new functions. * Conflict between in-house legacy applications and that of the vendors. * Inadequate performance because of outdated applications. {#application-portfolio-management-landing-page__ul_rrf_lht_tw} Overcome these challenges, improve business functions in an efficient and smooth manner, and optimize cost with these Enterprise Architecture processes. |-|-| | ![Enterprise Architecture Workspace.]() | [Enterprise Modeling and Visualization](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/7YVLo~6jZeuROuloPZX7Jg#application-portfolio-management-landing-page__section_rts_qj4_dwb) Create diagrams and model the future state of your IT and its relationship to the business landscape. | | ![Enterprise Architecture Workspace.]() | [Rationalization of business applications](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/7YVLo~6jZeuROuloPZX7Jg#application-portfolio-management-landing-page__section_vsr_3l4_dwb) Rationalize all business applications in a category and decide whether to invest, sustain, migrate, or retire an application. | | | [Gantt view of TPM and TRM lifecycle timelines](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/7YVLo~6jZeuROuloPZX7Jg#application-portfolio-management-landing-page__section_nrb_5l4_dwb) Use the Gantt chart to view and track Technology Portfolio Management (TPM) and Technology Reference Model (TRM) lifecycle timelines. | [ ] {#application-portfolio-management-landing-page__table_uw5_lxw_sjb} ## Enterprise Modeling and Visualization in the EA Workspace {#application-portfolio-management-landing-page__section_rts_qj4_dwb} Enterprise Architect can use the Enterprise Modeling and Visualization \[com.snc.apm_modelling_tool\] functionality in EA Workspace to create diagrams for their applications hierarchy and associate them with architectural artifacts. These diagrams enable decision makers to make informed decisions. ## Rationalization of business applications {#application-portfolio-management-landing-page__section_vsr_3l4_dwb} As an Enterprise Architect, you can use application rationalization to evaluate your business applications. Bubble charts are interactive graphs that position applications in different quadrants, based on their indicator scores. Based on the position of the business application in the quadrants, enterprise architects can take decisions to invest in, sustain, migrate, or retire the business applications. The List view enables you to see high-level information on all your business applications and all the indicator scores that are attached to them. ## Gantt view of TPM and TRM lifecycle timelines {#application-portfolio-management-landing-page__section_nrb_5l4_dwb} A Gantt chart in the Enterprise Architecture Workspace is a visual representation of the Technology Portfolio Management (TPM) and Technology Reference Model (TRM) timelines of business applications, and their associated application services like software products and hardware models. ## Applications and features {#application-portfolio-management-landing-page__section_vpq_1j1_pjb} * [Enterprise Architecture Workspace Overview](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/oCHKFGgk8oPnuxKSrAt4ew "The Enterprise Architecture Workspace has a consolidated user interface and is designed for different user roles.") * [Now Assist for Enterprise Architecture (EA)](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/vOukFxab2sCH2UFwU1r5Rg "Use the ServiceNow Now Assist for Enterprise Architecture (EA) application to summarize Architectural Decision Records (ADR) in the Enterprise Architecture Workspace Use the Architectural Decision Records (ADR) to explain your infrastructure.
