CHALLENGE
Management of complex portfolio
A large public institution needed better oversight of its IT portfolio to improve decision-making, mitigate risks, and ensure vendor accountability.
Managing multiple vendor-delivered solutions without a standardized quality assessment made tracking code health, technical debt, and security risks difficult.
To address this, the client sought an Application Portfolio Management (APM) tool to monitor and benchmark application quality against industry standards.
SOLUTION

A selected 7N team supported the client in implementing an Application Portfolio Management solution, enabling leadership to monitor IT system health and make data-driven decisions.
The service included:
7N guided the client in evaluating, selecting, and implementing a suitable APM tool
Onboarding applications
Up to 100 applications were integrated into the system for ongoing quality monitoring
7N helped define governance requirements and quality thresholds for software development, establishing structured vendor expectations
Decision-making processes
New governance policies were formulated, ensuring a structured approach to risk mitigation, procurement, and vendor compliance
IMPACT
Clear insights for decision-making
With the APM tool in place, the client can continuously monitor 100+ applications, providing clear insights into code quality for executive management and project teams.
This enables:
-
Proactive risk management
-
Improved vendor accountability
-
Data-driven decision-making
