25. This report allows analysts to compare the importance of the business processes with the annual cost of ownership of the applications that support and affect those processes. In the chart above, you can see that the accounting business process has a disproportionate cost relative to its business importance. Therefore, it is important to understand why the annual cost of ownership for this accounting process is so high. For example, are there redundant applications supporting this process? Highlight possible redundancies in the portfolio by identifying applications that support/affect the same business processes. The report above shows that the accounting business process is supported by seven different applications. Is there any functional overlap between these seven applications? Identify Redundancies in the Portfolio Business Process Value vs. Cost Comparison Portfolio Reporting Identify redundancies across the application portfolio

26. Create charts to visually evaluate the competing investments from multiple dimensions using the derived assessment scores and metrics (for example, business importance, risk, architectural fit, TCO, and operational performance) Portfolio Optimizer Evaluate the application portfolio and finalize transformation decisions
