| Background |
| Over the past 40 years IT has evolved to create a diverse landscape of bespoke and packaged applications in a variety of programming languages, platforms, operating systems and disciplines. More then $1 trillion has been invested in building Information Technology (IT) infrastructure. |
Enterprise clients are spending more than 70% of their IT budget on application maintenance due to declining application knowledge and increasing applications complexity.
Manual Application analysis is both costly and error prone, due to the difficulties in scanning the components and understanding the complex inter-dependencies. EZ Source contains information on all elements and their relationships, allowing precise, user-driven Application navigation according to the task in hand. Key to its success is the ability of EZ Source to provide different components for all users involved in Application Management activities, all integrated through a common repository.

| The EZ Legacy edge |
Only EZ Source provides Enterprise-wide, cross platform coverage and enables the depth of functionality to support the detailed understanding needed for development activities. Its ability to meet the challenges of many different users in multiple scenarios in addition to extremely rapid implementation and ease of use, satisfy both the demands of technical staff and management alike.
When performed manually, industry figures conservatively estimate that analysis consumes 30% of all Application Management resources and even then is often incomplete and inaccurate because of the lack of supporting technology. EZ Source's ability to fully automate the different aspects of analysis allows technical teams to improve both performance and quality, based on an accurate and comprehensive understanding of all Application components.
As a result, IT Management can then improve decision making and planning by having quantitative metrics that are based on a common understanding across different environments and teams. |
