Dossier 03 — Rationalise your application estate

Your estatehas grown.Your system has not.

The years add tools: one per need, one per team, one per emergency. We redraw the whole — what stays, what merges, what is switched off — until the estate can be understood at a glance again.

03·02 — On the evidence

Not an inventory.A diagnosis.

Every application is judged on the evidence: who really uses it, what it costs to keep alive, what it already duplicates elsewhere, what would break if it disappeared. The target estate is drawn from the real — not from intentions.

03·03 — The approach

Four movements.No detour.

01 · Mapping

The estate as it is used, not as it is declared.

02 · Diagnosis

Value, cost, risk, overlap: every application judged.

03 · Decision

Keep, consolidate, replace, switch off — in writing.

04 · Transition

Every switch-off prepared; nothing breaks on the way.

03·04 — The right cut

Fewer applications.More system.

What goes

The dead weight

The duplicates, the tools no one uses, the dormant licences, the systems no one dares touch any more: every switch-off is prepared, documented, reversible for as long as it takes.

What stays

The backbone

An estate drawn tight around what truly carries your activity — fewer licences, fewer interfaces, fewer risks, and teams who find a legible system again.

You can only reduce what you fully master — the cut is never a bet, it is a conclusion.
