    Uploaded by

    Muralidhar
    This document provides an overview of the application and server decommissioning process. It outlines the key phases and activities involved, including initiation, assessment, planning, execution, and validation. The goals are to reduce IT complexity and costs by removing unnecessary applications and servers. A standard process is described that involves assessing each application for decommissioning suitability, generating approval requests, and ultimately updating management systems upon removal. The process is governed through defined roles and responsibilities, reporting, and key performance indicators to track progress.

    The key takeaways from the document are that the decommissioning process aims to reduce IT complexity and costs by rationalizing unused applications in a standard way through various phases like initiation, assessment, planning, execution and validation.

    The purpose of the decommissioning process is to reduce IT complexity and costs by removing unnecessary applications from the organization's systems in a planned and systematic manner.

    The decommissioning process involves several phases - initiation, assessment, planning, execution and validation. The initiation phase starts the decommission request. The assessment phase involves technical evaluation. The planning phase involves stopping the application. The execution phase generates approval documents. The validation phase updates tracking systems.

    Application Decommissioning
    Reducing IT complexity through a focused
    application cleanup process
    8
    • Complexity: increasing change capabilities by removing unnecessary IT
    complexity.
    • Cost: the IT budget is under pressure by global demand to reduce overall cost.
    Much of the total IT spending is consumed by maintenance leaving not much
    room
    for innovations.
    Why we want it
    • Definition: an application is only decommissioned after its software is no longer
    present within the organization on any of its OTAP environments.
    • Scope: Incumbent Communication Service Providers have the potential to
    reduce
    total application portfolio with a substantial percentage. The surplus is a legacy of
    many years of mergers and acquisitions with a cost reduction potential of tenths
    of
    millions year on year.
    What it is
    • Master plan: a master plan containing waves of 4-6 months
    • Individual applications: standard activities and use of accelerators to perform
    the
    rationalizing activities include commercial and technical migration, data migration
    and software-hardware rationalizing.
    • KPI’s: clear set of KPI’s with the single most important KPI being the number of
    applications rationalized.
    How we do it
    • Governance: program is governed by IT organization with strong connect to
    the
    business
    • Working teams: dedicated domain teams representing functional
    management,
    infrastructure and architecture.
