Gartner Insights Abstract

停用应用:应用清理师的职责

Published: 29 May 2024

Summary

应用部署项目通常侧重于对旧有应用的替换而非移除,因而导致组合臃肿。应用和软件工程领导者必须明确划分任务,任命应用清理师,由其负责应用停用事务。

Included in Full Research

概述

主要发现
  • 应用更替计划过于重视替换旧应用的功能,因此,若将停用或淘汰应用作为此类计划的一部分,则很难见效。

  • 企业机构需要履行尽职监督,以满足监管和法律对数据留存的要求,这可能会使应用停用面对巨大的技术和经济挑战。

  • 没有简单的经验法则可以估算应用停用的成本。

建议

应用和软件工程领导者应:

  • 通过将责任归入两个独立的项目(应用更替和应用停用),提高停用成功率。

  • 任命“应用清理师”,由其负责定义策略、流程和服务,管理应用停用相关事宜。

  • 通过评估过去的拥有成本、使用范围、复杂性和依赖关系,估算应用停用的成本。
