    • Analyze application portfolio, manage refresh cycles, and rationalize legacy applications by using Enterprise Architecture Workspace, IT Asset Management, and Information Technology Operations Management

    Combined benefits of integrating Enterprise Architecture Workspace with IT Asset Management and IT Operations Management

    Feature EA Workspace ITAM ITOM All applications together
    Discover configuration items (CIs) No No Yes Discover inventory of software and hardware The ITOM Discovery identifies and adds hardware and software configuration items to the CMDB including business applications and application services.

    Discovery provides an up-to-date inventory of software and hardware. Using APM gain complete visibility into your application inventory.
    Service mapping No No Yes Map infrastructure to business capability. Service Mapping provides the relationships between an application instance and the discovered infrastructure. Service Mapping creates business service context dependencies on the discovered CIs that support the application (application instances or application services for production, development, and test environments).
    Standardized software and hardware product models lifecycle content No Yes No Software Asset Management (SAM) builds a normalized inventory of the Software models supporting an application service. APMs' Technology Portolio Management (TPM) uses SAM software inventory to manage the vendor lifecycles.

    As part of APM, the Technology Portfolio Management capability utilizes software and hardware lifecycle data from SAM/HAM to proactively identify which business applications are at technical risk through being dependent on unsupported or end-of-life software and hardware.

    - APM leverages this capability to provide visibility into the risks associated to a business application e.g., loss of availability, and the tracking of the controls applied to test for application compliance to regulations. - Continuous compliance monitoring ensures that those applications are being attested against the correct controls. As such we’re able to ensure the operational resilience of business applications. - With the frequency, and levels of attack severity continuing to increase, organizations can be overwhelmed by volume of security alerts and find it difficult to quickly prioritize and resolve threats.

    Workflow of Enterprise Architecture Workspace

    Use the Enterprise Architecture Workspace and IT Asset Management and IT Operations Management together for these benefits:

    • Enable Enterprise Architects to automate the tracking versions and lifecycles of underlying technologies and determine which business applications are at risk due to expired or end-of-life technologies.
    • Increased visibility of application inventory. Find out redundant and obsolete applications and take quick decisions accordingly.
    • Drive actionable workflows to stop overspending on licenses that are no longer being used.

    Requirements for Enterprise Architecture Workspace, IT Asset Management, and IT Operations Management

    • Install the Enterprise Architecture Workspace (sn_apm_ws) application.
    • Install the Technology Portfolio Management (sn_apm_tpm) application.
    • Install the Software Asset Management Professional (com.sn_samp_master) application.
    • Install the Hardware Asset Management (com.sn_hamp) application.

    Getting started with assessing technology risks for your enterprise

    To get started with assessing your technology risks, follow these steps:

    1. Align technologies of your business applications to your strategic business initiatives. You can run a scheduled job to run to fetch the technology lifecycle data for your technology portfolio. See .
    2. View the technology lifecycle risk for business applications, application services, servers, software products, and hardware models in the Technology Portfolio tab in the Insights section of EA Workspace. You can filter these technology lifecycle risks to see only for the application you are interested in. See Viewing insights of your portfolio.
    3. Track the progress of Technology Portfolio Management (TPM) analysis by examining the TPM Discovered Technology Run Log [sn_apm_tpm_discovered_technology_run_log] table. Each time the analysis is run, an entry is added to this table. To see the run logs, in the EA Workspace, navigate to Portfolio List view (EA Workspace > Portfolio > Technology Portfolio Management > Logs). See Exploring Portfolio list view.
    4. Rationalize your business applications to analyze business applications based on multiple scores, create a demand for a business application, set the planned disposition of a business application, and add life-cycle details to an existing business application. See Rationalization of business applications.
