application portfolio management (APM)

Application Portfolio Management(APM) is a management tool for the systematic recording and well-founded evaluation of applications.

APM management does not rely on a list of documentation and source codes, but instead takes into account the aspects of the various departments that work with these applications during the evaluation. The evaluation also includes life cycles and detailed information about the applications in use.

The result of Application Portfolio Management is reflected in analyses and metrics that flow into the SOA architecture.
