Applications
Every application owned, and accounted for.
Applications pile up. New ones arrive, old ones linger long after the project that needed them, and nobody is quite sure who owns what or whether it is licensed. Application lifecycle management fixes that, and keeps it fixed.
The challenge
The cost of unmanaged applications
Without ownership and a lifecycle, applications drift. Orphans accumulate, licence positions blur, and an external audit becomes a scramble. Every unmanaged application is also a potential security exposure.
What makes it complex
Orphan applications with no owner
No clear installed-versus-licensed position
No lifecycle or review dates
Exposure at audit time
Project at a glance
Scoped clearly, up front.
What is in, what is out and what you get, agreed before anything starts.
What it is
- Give every application an owner and a clear licence position, and manage each one from arrival through to retirement.
Prerequisites
- An endpoint management tool such as Microsoft Intune
In scope
- Applications on PCs
Out of scope
- Applications on servers, mobile and kiosk devices
- Web applications
Deliverables
- 90% of applications owned
- A licence console showing installed versus licensed
- Ownership and review kept current in business as usual
How ClearVisibility delivers it
The method, built into the tool.
- Reconciles installed applications across the estate.
- Runs an ownership workflow so orphans get a home.
- Shows installed versus licensed so you can right-size with confidence.
- Keeps ownership and review dates current, and feeds rationalisation and harvest.
