The Application Platform Assessment Tool
What is the current state of your application platform?
How integrated are your IT systems, and where do they need improvement? The Application Platform Assessment Tool* reviews your IT commitments across five capabilities, including Business Intelligence, Service-Oriented Architecture, Development, User Experience, and Data Management.
The Capability Assessment Tool
|
SOA and Business Processes: While Service-Oriented Architecture was often first used by enterprises as a way to improve the agility of their centralized IT systems, increasingly, businesses are using SOA to build new types of dynamic applications, whether they run on the Internet, the plant floor, or from a mobile device.
|
Business Intelligence (BI): More than ever, organizations require interoperability and collaboration to unlock their heterogeneous LOB data. Timely access to critical data can empower your information workers to become real-time decision makers who take informed actions that reflect and achieve your corporate goals.
|
Development and Application Life-Cycle Management (ALM): In the application development environment, providing visibility and predictability into your development life-cycle creates business value through the more efficient management of your development teams and processes.

* Microsoft may contact the owner of a completed assessment in order to discuss this assessment and advise on next steps. In most cases Microsoft will recommend you work with a partner to review the report, develop an impact map that shows which practice areas & practices affect your business the most, and create a solution roadmap.
