Background Definitions
Legacy applications • Obsolete • Redundant • Necessary
Application decommissioning • Turn off old technology • Preserve the data for use • Shared platform for all decommissioned applications • Repeatable

IT Budget Challenges The burden of legacy applications
• No competitive advantage to be gained, table stakes
• Minimize spend to achieve “acceptable” service levels • Most infrastructure and maintenance of application spend falls into this category • Ever increasing spend
#InfoArchive @Bell2Bry @consult_Andrew
Application Decommissioning Redefine the Pie
Technology investments that lead to or support new products / services that lead to sustainable competitive advantage
Technology investments that lead to or support new products / services that lead to sustainable competitive advantage • Make good investment (ROI) decisions • Can lead to competitive advantage – but often targeted at parity with competitors • Reduce and Shift the spend

Getting Started If you meet one or more of these criteria you may be a very good candidate for application decommissioning.
(for Banks)
Need to Support FDIC
Requirements (e.g. Insurance, Consumer Packaged
Goods, etc.)
Litigation Prone
(e.g. Financial Services Pharmaceutical, and
Government)
Regulated Current or Future M&A Activity
Expected
Need to Securely Maintain Old
Application Data

Business Value Determine the business impact and value
• Talk to the business and SME’s • Determine how the application is currently used • What is the type and nature of data? • Discuss governance climate

Plan for the Data How should the data be managed?
• How can you get the data out of the application? • Determine how to model the data (in xml) • Understand the size and magnitude of the data • Identify retention policies and desires

Consider the Technology
• “To Be” Application Requirements – search, drilldown views and reporting • Production environment • Architecture • Non-functional requirements
What is the current IT landscape?

The Big Question
• Make a short list of candidate applications based on data state and business value
• Determine the costs to: – Establish the environment – Extract, Transform and Load the data – Configure and develop the
application to meet requirements
• Evaluate cost to maintain vs cost to decommission
• Proof of concept
Is the cost to decommission worth it?

ARCHITECTED FOR VALUE
• Don’t simply architect the past, re-draw the boundaries
• Make the data available to more people, with full control
• Put the data to work in new ways: make accessible to other applications, analysis, historical context
• Re-envision application data by user, unhook from function
• Big Data Lake ready
