Application Management
With so many development and hosting options available, gathering internal business requirements barely scratches the surface of Application Management for most companies. Choosing an application platform is a fundamental decision that can affect virtually every aspect of your IT infrastructure. Few businesses start application development from scratch, so issues related to application migration and integration with legacy systems are often part of the mix. With the advent of the ASP model, and now SaaS, the question of internal application development versus using on-demand applications and service providers is always a consideration. And service-oriented architecture (SOA) is on everyone's radar these days.
