Application portffolio management approaches have traditionally recognized the need to diversify among multiple technology platforms to reduce the reliance on a single proprietary platform.  However, this has caused substantial heterogeneity of the application portfolio resulting in higher costs of software license, application maintenance and support.  With the advent of open environments it is essential to rationlize the application portfolio by identifying and removing unwanted heterogeneity.  CIOs have the opportunity to significantly reduce TCO by gaining scale on standardized platforms.

IFI can  significantly lowering the one-time effort of platform migrations.  Our experience and knowledge of COTS migrations, OS migrations, database migrations, application framework and server migrations combined with our global delivery model can minimize risk and costs.
